    D&D, AD&D, GURPS, Traveller, etc....yep been there, done that, still got my dice and character sheets if I look hard enough. Even played the original MUD, and I mean the game called MUD that was so named for the phrase 'Multi-User Dungeon'. Played text based games, rogue-likes and so forth. I* am old school.

    I belong to the school of thought that says that the journey matters more than the destination.

    I believe I am quite probably considered a dinosaur, and I really don't care about that.

    I remember MUD... I have Legends of Infocom (Zork ftw) on my iPad and still maintain a subscription to a text-based game called Dragonrealms... I'm probably a dinosaur too in that case. Unfortunately I've even seen in in that text-based game where people just run scripts now to get to the highest level possible and taunt you for not having the best stuff. Everything is keeping up with the Joneses these days...

    I used to play Rolemaster a lot to. I agree the journey is more important than the destination. People just rush through the content to the end game these days.
