Re: When did you first play TFT?
In the Blue Room? I was playing TFT there in 1981, before graduation, work, marriage, moving to Canberra etc got in the way.

Re: When did you first play TFT?
...and still zero people who discovered TFT in the 90s. Truly dark times! Out of print, no world wide web to speak of to establish contact with other fans, and the game did not yet have a "classic status", just "old".

Re: When did you first play TFT?
Hey Greg!
(I use the same handle on Ye Olde Rocketry Forum.) Yeah, collation parties; I used to help out at FGI when they got a new game in. But never had to do it the day before at a convention!

1978 in Portland, OR
Good times. We had a teacher, two office moles, a priest, and several D&D players that would join for a session or two when their game wasn't on.

Re: When did you first play TFT?
I haven't played it yet. I've clearly been caught up in the hype, as I've backed the project at the "I want it all" level, and I'm extremely excited to get my hands on it.
I'm also betting my girls will enjoy this. They'll be 7 & 8 next year, and I think this sounds like a good introduction to a more rules-based RPG experience. (I've been running a GURPS Ultra-Lite game for them, which was more about having some vague restrictions to get us beyond the "I hit" - "Nuh-uh" stage of things.) One thing I'm curious about: When do you think it'll actually be out? I'm skeptical of the March 2019 expected release date, especially with all of these (wonderful) add-ons and stretch goals. Likewise the October PDF release date. Any thoughts on this?

Re: When did you first play TFT?
Started in 1977 when Melee first came out. We played it (and Wizard) a lot, even during lunch hour at high school (along with Ogre).
I have to say we enjoyed an awful lot of Steve Jackson gaming goodness during the 70s and 80s especially Ogre/GEV, Melee/Wizard, Illuminati, and Car Wars! Unfortunately, by the time ITL came out, we had moved on to other things and we never got a chance to play it. Happy to be on-board for this relaunch! Many thanks! Rob |

Re: When did you first play TFT?
I first heard of TFT from the Metagaming ads in Analog magazine in 1977, but that was before I was into gaming, so I didn't quite get it.
I bought a copy of Melee in the summer of 1978 at Games Workshop in Hammersmith, London during an epic spate of game purchasing while on vacation in the UK. One of the store clerks recommended it as something to spend my last pound or two on (the same visit including my acquisition of Greyhawk, Blackmoor, Eldritch Wizardry, First Fantasy Campaign, White Dwarf 6-8, and the Monster Manual, all to supplement my recent discovery of Basic D&D). I played it soon afterward, I think while I still on vacation.
