My campaign started in 1978. We're still playing. Over 60 players have come and gone, but the current crew has a half-dozen of the original players from the 70s and early 80s still going. We've outlasted at least 6 marriages, lots of moving (I currently Skype in, but will be moving back home next year), and all manner of turmoil. When I've been too busy or burnt out to DM, someone else in the group has stepped up to fill the gap.
It's hard to schedule because of family and work obligations, but we are pretty close to monthly.
- dcw303 9y agoWow, it's really Loyd Blankenship! Forgive the gushing fan reply, but I'll take any chance I can to tell you how grateful I am for the GURPS Cyberpunk sourcebook. Definitely one of my main inspirations (along with Gibson's books) for taking up a career in coding.
- bradknowles 9y agoAhh. The book that supposedly kicked off “Operation Sundevil”. What if I told you that there might have been a different GURPS book that was the real cause?
- dcw303 9y agoSounds interesting, Please do tell!
- loydb 9y agoCyberpunk didn't kick off the raid -- that happened because of the BBS I ran, the Phoenix Project. The book was merely a casualty of the war.
- loydb 9y ago(Also, if I'm being pedantic, Sundevil had nothing to do with the the raid either. Sundevil was run by an idiot in Arizona. All of the Legion of Doom-related raids were run by an idiot in Chicago.)
- loydb 9y agoThanks! I was mostly happy with how it came out -- having to rewrite about a third of it because of seized backups was traumatic at the time.
