Arjailer

How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)?
When watching Superman 2 when I was around 10 years old, when Zod says "Jor-El? Our jailer?" and "Revenge! We will kill the son of our jailer!" I mis-heard Terence Stamp saying "our jailer" in his english accent and thought Jor-El's second name was Arjailer. I realised my mistake a few years later, but liked the name, so it stuck  :-)
 
What was the first tabletop RPG you GMed?  
Inherited a copy of Moldvay D&D Basic in around 1983 from a family friend who'd returned to Scotland after living in America for a while. I had no idea how to play it at first, but I was fascinated by it, so we bumbled through and eventually worked it out.
 
What was the first tabletop RPG you Played?  
Probably around 1984/85 - a school friend got the Menzter D&D Basic and I started playing in his game.
 
What are you currently Playing/GMing?  
D&D 5e with my sons (14 and 16)  We've been playing for a few years now, and they're finally getting to the point where they're starting to read the books themselves and take an interest beyond just "I hit the orcs with my sword".
 
When did you start to play Hero?  
A friend ran 1st edition Fantasy Hero, probably around 1989-ish. I liked the flexibility of the point-based system, and by the time I bought and started running F.H. it was the 2nd edition (with the Elmore snow cover). I've since got 4th and 5th editions (I tend to stick to fantasy and star hero), but haven't got 6th yet.
 
Edit: Turns out I did get 6th edition in a Bundle of Holding - guess I haven't read it yet though  :-)
 
Edit 2: Thinking of trying my kids with Hero after our current D&D 5e game is done - hence why I've started lurking around here again  :-)
