I have enjoyed Role Playing games since I was in High School. We played D&D and Marvel Super Heroes for a couple of months before our GM graduated and I then played a little whenever I could from then on. Once I got to college I found tons of people who played, and I spent more and more time learning all the arts and lore of many a game.
I haven't played every game in existance, but I have played quite a few. Here is a quick rundown of the ones I remember playing.
