On another forum people were asking about everyone's first RPG experience. Now my story involved D&D but only about six or eight weeks later I played the 1977 version of Traveller. I was 11 years old.

My question is, what version brought you into Traveller? Was it little books, or color covers? Was it before the Fifth Frontier War, or during the Virus?

Please share.

My first experience was with the original little books, in ‘77 or ‘78. I had no idea what it was when I bought the original box set but the blurb on the box about free trader Beowulf really grabbed me.

I’ve at least dabbled in every version since.
