5) OLDEST game you've played

Fighting Fantasy and TOON both came out in 1984.

Call Of Cthulhu third edition, the first one I got, is basically backwards compatible with first and second.

The furthest I’ve gone back with the oldest published game D&D is AD&D second edition. Which opens up questions about how many editions of D&D there really are.


One word prompt

5) OLDEST

How far back in history (or a world based on a real-world era) have you set a game?

There are a few prehistoric RPGs out there. As well as ones about creation myths, including ones where the PCs are the ones doing the creating.

For me, not counting time travel or “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” probably the usual medieval kind of thing, and I haven’t run something like that regularly in quite a while. A couple of Ancient Greek style adventures here and there.


2014 answer to Most Old School RPG Owned: RuneQuest. Which I’ve never played, so wouldn’t count here.
