I've got you beat there -- 1976! Tried it, liked the idea of RPGs, but
I've never been that interested in magical fantasy. /Traveller/ didn't
take my fancy either; not sure why, but it could have been because the
"traditional" group right at the start -- a mixed bag of crew on a tramp
freighter -- wasn't much to my taste, and what little I knew of the
setting wasn't high-tech enough (oh, those clunky computers! :-D ). Took
up other RPGs later and ran several successful campaigns as GM, but it
always depended on what players I could meet were interested in. Sound
familiar?
