Hello all,
My name is Alban de Rostolan and I was born in July 1975.
I had my first experience with Roleplaying games at 9, but really became a roleplayer 2 years later.
The first roleplaying game I read is the "Moldvay" basic D&D box, but I quickly switched to AD&D (1st edition).
At 12 I discovered StormBringer, and my world changed. I had no idea before that a game without classes and levels or with a logical and "realistic" experience system could exist.
My second shock was with RuneQuest 3, which not only more complex than StormBringer, but also much more consistant.
I played a lot of RuneQuest (in Glorantha or not), StormBringer, Call of Cthulhu, Hawkmoon, and read ElfQuest and Nephilim (1st and 2nd french editions). I was also in the playtest group of MRQ.
Nowadays, I tend to use my homebrew version of BRP rather than any published versions. It is a mix of every rules I liked in the BRP games I read (basic skill %iles are drawn from Nephilim 2, preliminary experiend is from MRQ, combat is a mix of RQ3, MRQ and Elric!, etc.)
