 I've designed a number of tabletop roleplaying games over the years, the last two of which are available here. My gaming experience started with the //Fighting Fantasy// books, then I moved onto AD&D and D&D. Then AD&D 2nd Edition came out, and soon after that we started playing other game systems. I've designed a number of tabletop roleplaying games over the years, the last two of which are available here.

 +==== Yet Another Game System ====
  
 **YAGS** is my current system of choice, and is a fully GPL'd tabletop roleplaying game. I started designing it in 1995, and it's been used on and off since then. Currently, I'm focusing on modern and science fiction, but it started life as a fantasy game system for my new campaign world. It's relatively generic, but is designed to be modular rather than having a single set of rules. **YAGS** is my current system of choice, and is a fully GPL'd tabletop roleplaying game.

-===== Myths =====+==== Myths ====
  
 **Myths** was the system that I wrote after I fell out with AD&D. It was designed to fit my AD&D campaign world at the time, so started very similar to AD&D in feel. It had no character classes and levels, a highly flexible magic system and used a roundless combat system. **Myths** was the system that I wrote after I fell out with AD&D.

 This was a system I wrote whilst at school which didn't get very far. As the name suggests, it was based on the //Elite// computer game, using a system a bit like Rolemaster. I have no records of this system. This was a system I wrote whilst at school which didn't get very far.

-===== Fighting Fantasy Multiplayer =====+==== Fighting Fantasy Multiplayer ====
  
 The first ever true roleplaying game I played was one I wrote based on the //Fighting Fantasy// game books. I was ten or eleven at the time, and it was a mishmash of //Doctor Who//, //Star Wars// and //Raiders of the Lost Ark//. It was probably very similar to FF, but used the idea of me taking the part of the book, and the other players running through whatever adventure I came up with. The first ever true roleplaying game I played was one I wrote based on the //Fighting Fantasy// game books.
