Oh, yes, I've got the white box D&D, the black box Traveler,
and The Morrow Project. When I was in High School, back in
1975, I was the local dungeon master, and mediated many a game.
Oddly enough, my first RPG was Empire of the Petal Throne.
Talk about "sink or swim!" After I had mastered that,
D&D was a piece of cake.
