5-10 years ago: homebrew fantasy systems based on elements from older games. Used BRP, Storyteller etc. Never been completely satisfied, heading to minimalist system like Everway.

15 years ago: Mage the Ascension, plus others. Didn't really think about system, ran contemporary fantasy/horror using Storyteller with tweaks. Introduced to Lace and Steel.

20 years ago: Vampire the Masquerade. Call of Cthulhu.

25 years ago: Palladium games, mostly. Warhammer 40k rpg using a mixture of the original Rogue Trader and WFRP 1e.

2008 - Spirit of the Century (is it that old?) and D&D 3.5
2003 - D&D 3e, early 3.5
1998 - I just moved to Maryland, I think we were tinkering around with AD&D2 soon thereafter, and had an abortive attempt at playing world of darkness and a bit of rolemaster.
1993 - I was still in the Navy. I didn't play as much as I would have liked to then. There were a few games on board of AD&D, but I seldom had time to play them. When on the off-crew, we played a little AD&D 2e, Megatraveller, and I tried Over the Edge and soon decided I hated it.

Running: Pathfinder Scarred Lands, Mutants & Masterminds, Masks, Starfinder, Bulldogs!
Playing: Sigh. Nothing.
Planning: Some Cyberpunk thing, system TBD.

5 years ago = D&D
10 years ago = D&D
15 years ago = D&D
20 years ago = D&D

Oh yeah, and a number of other games as well.  But D&D is the staple.  Edition?  Doesn't matter.

Nope. I plan to stay in my 20's forever.

8 years in my 20's so far and I haven't turned thirty, I can't imagine what could change.

I'll be sure to keep an eye on my prostate.
