TTRPGs since January 1984. Started with D&D 1e & 2e, then tried out Vampire: The Masquerade, sat in on a session at a convention with the late M.A.R. Barker of his homebrew game (The Lotus Throne? Can't quite remember - it was a long time ago), and started using cons as a way to try different games.

In in-home groups starting about 2000, I've played D&D 3e and D&D 3.5e, R.I.F.T.S., a 3e treatment of The Wheel of Time, Judge Dredd, and numerous other RPGs. Ran D&D 4e games at some friends' places, and for a couple of years played and ran a 4e campaign at a local autism center. Enjoyed some games based on the Fate system, especially Kerberos Club. Liked Pendragon.

I'm a boomer and a geezer, and envious of all those younger than me that will possibly be playing RPGs for many years after I have rolled dice in this mortal vale for the last time. 

Also really enjoy board games.

It's that age-old problem: too many games, not enough time.
