I started with D&D three little books, then went to Traveller three little books plus many, many more then went to TFT. I eventually transferred to GURPS 3e and created a huge campaign that went from prehistoric to post Traveller universe. GURPS 4e left me cold, though I did transition the characters. It just did not have the same feel. Never got into either DFRPG or GDF - saw no purpose. With TFT back, looking forward to some good play again. I still have a lot of my personal conversions of classic modules which I can use. For me, TFT handles everything other than modern/scifi eras better than anything else around - particularly because it doesn't involve supernatural beings.
