Storyarama

Hi, my handle is Storyarama, and it came from a time where I was doing Storytelling as a hobby.
 
My first time playing was with AD&D 1st ed. I was actually headed to summer camp when I heard some of the kids on the bus talking about what spells they were taking, and I just had to find out what that meant. That was the week of summer camp that changed the whole direction of my life.
 
My first time GMing was a couple weeks later after camp, when I put together a dungeon and had a buddy run a party of characters through it. Apparently, giants and first level characters do not mix well. TPK. Oooops. Learned some important lessons though.
 
Currently running: Champions 5th ed., Fantasy Hero for 5th ed., AD&D 3.5
 
Currently playing: Champions 5th ed., AD&D 3.5, Star Wars D20

Hello, I am Tasha
 
How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)?
Tasha is the name of one of my first 3rd Edition D&D characters. The name Natasha Greenbottle was pulled out of the Character Generator's Random Name Generator. Tasha just became my online personna/avatar.
 
What was the first tabletop RPG you played?
That would be Original Blue Book Basic Dungeons and Dragons, with Original D&D mixed in.
 
What was the first tabletop RPG you GMed?
That would also be Original Blue Book Basic D&D.
 
What are you currently playing/GMing?
Currently playing Pathfinder. Contemplating running either The Strange, Lords of Gossimer and Shadow, or Amber (or a mashup of LoGS and Amber). Nothing is set in stone yet. Just need some inspiration.
 
When did you start to play Hero?
I started with the 2nd edition rulebook (AKA the Revised edition Champions boxed set). I didn't become a die hard fan until Fantasy Hero 1st edition came out and showed me how empowering it was to have complete control of your character's build. Danger Incorporated (now called Dark Champions), was my introduction to modern era RPGs. Justice Inc was a fun take on the pulp genre.
 
I am a fan of ease of use. Simplicity is important, but can actually make things harder. Ease of use trumps that.
