Started playing what are now referred to as PPTTRPGs [Pencil & Paper Table-Top Role-Playing Games, in order to avoid confusion with Video Games, which are thought of as RPGs in some areas of the world, such as SE Asia, Japan, etc.] in the very late 1970s, experiencing RuneQuest, Traveller, Bushido, Tunnels & Trolls and some other RPGs] whilst at University [1979-83], after previously starting with just AD&D, including its precursor versions, like the original "Dungeons & Dragons" box [1976-9].

The following is an incomplete and non-exhaustive list of other RPG Systems &/ Settings which I have played &/ run:
Since then, I have played Settings from "Many times Many" RPG Systems, including other Settings using the Chaosium Basic Role-Playing System [C-BARPS - such as Call of Cthulhu, Nephilim 1st & 2nd Edition], Paranoia!!, all the various Settings of The StoryTeller System [making well over one thousand hours of this system alone], FATE, Amazing Engine, EarthDawn, Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.

Have also supported quite a number of RPG Crowdfund Projects to date, starting with Nephilim: Légende on 12th June 2017.
Hope that you find this interesting.
