Subject: How I came to GZG

Short story long:

A friend in Ottawa at our gaming group introduced me to FT (Tom M). I was
sold. Then I found SG. Very lately, DS (first game, Jon D's Hotspot
at ECC IV - hard to beat as an intro!). SG sold me immediately, and I
like FT although I enjoy scenarios more than point based fights.

Other gaming background: RPGs - D&D, AD&D (2-3 versiosn), Boot Hill,
Gamma World, Gangbusters, Indianna Jones, MS&PE, Aftermath, Morrow Project,
Twilight:2000 (2 versions), Traveller:2300,
Traveller/MegaTraveller/TNE/GurpsTraveller, Striker II, Brilliant
Lances, MayDay, Azhanti High Lightning, Snapshot, Challenger II
(Microarmour!!), SFB (both the little books and the later ones), Car Wars
(little boxes and later books), Champions (several editions), Marvel
Superheros, Merc (RPG), Star Frontiers and Knight Hawks, Chainmail,
BattleSystem, Vamp:TM, Recon (RPG), Star Wars(RPG) and Star Warriors (fighter
game), Centurion, Leviathan, some Battletech, etc. (And those are just the
ones I recall).

Given how many things I've tried, the fact I've stuck with some of them
says that they're lasting values. SG/FT/DS seem to fit this category.

Now John's a MegaCorp, does this mean he has his own corporate Mercs? (In his
case, I'd suspect "Combat Babes"....)
