While I was at school, I ended up in a social group that played games, such as Risk, Kingmaker, Diplomacy and Cosmic Encounter, as well as a bit of table tennis. Along the way, we leapt into D&D too. None of us were the kind to go for the simple version, so we never played the Basic set, but started with AD&D. As most of the books weren't out yet, this was facilitated in part by someone getting at least one of the first player manuals sent from the USA in a diplomatic pouch, rather than waiting ages for it to become available in Australian shops.
After quite some years, RPG campaigns slipped out of being a regular part of my life, mostly due to the difficulty in tying enough people down to a regular play schedule. These days, I mostly play board games and card games, predominantly ones of German origin. Online games seldom appeal to me, but Tigris is an exception and used to be available on BGG. The statistics pages there were very limited, so I maintained some extra BGG E&T statistics. There are also lots of online versions of board games on BSW.
