I had one botched attempt to play D&D when I was about 12 (1983ish), over at a friend's house. My character was an elven wizard, that through miraculous luck rolled a pseudo-dragon as a familiar. The game lasted about three hours though. I think (and here I hang my head in utter shame) the character's name was Zaphod Beeblebrox. I have since instated a rule in my games where players must give their characters original names, not ones ripped off from someone else.
The first RPG I had any real exposure to was Star Frontiers. Sitting around bored one evening with two friends, one mentions that he bought this game 'Star Frontiers'. So, he brought it over, and I told them to leave me alone until the next day. From then on, we started playing after school every night. I jumped from that to Marvel Super Heros, then to AD&D 1st ed. which I ran all through high school.
I have mostly been GM, and only had a few memorable PCs, mostly in several long-running Champions games.
