Owned Cyberpunk 2020 and LOTR:RPG books years before I actually played any real RPGs; I've only been playing pen and paper RPGs since 2006. My first experience was with Vampire The Masquerade and then a bit of 3.5 D&D. I didn't fully get into the hobby until 2012 when a friend started a 4e campaign and invited me to play and I dove in. I currently play 4e, 13th Age, Savage Worlds and Colonial Marines. I try to read up on as many RPG mechanics as I can and look forward to trying more RPGs in the future.

My background before RPGs comes from video games, board games, and war games before I played RPGs.
