My parents owned a photocopier, so I had copies of just about every RPG book in the 80s (I can still smell the toner). The ones I bought included Traveller, AD&D and anything by (the under-rated) <a href="http://www.palladiumbooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc">Palladium Books</a>. Adrian, I remember buying your copies of Dragon magazine! Now every old & new RPG is available in pdf form, via p2p. But what to do with them? It's difficult to imagine actually running a campaign these days. We're all so busy... Re: the X comix, my favourite after Uncanny X-Men was the New Mutants, especially the artwork by <a href="http://www.billsienkiewicz.com/">Bill Sienkiewicz</a>.

I'm lifting weights right now! (Classic) Traveller was my favourite RPG in the 80s (closely followed by AD&D 1st edition). It was amazing - designing galaxies, or huge fleets of spacecraft. Or smaller scale adventures such as running contraband through dangerous systems... It's a shame that it didn't have the influence of D&D, although I see some resonance in TV shows such as Firefly, Babylon 5 and the more recent Star Treks. A new CRPG version of it would be nice - like D&D got with Neverwinter Nights. The X-Men (and related) comics were also an obsession of mine in the 80s so I was very excited about the films, but playing X-Men Legends 2 has got me obsessed again. I've recently been catching up with the 90s animated series, which is pretty good. Don't know if I can deal with the more recent X-Men Evolution series, where they're recast as teenagers, or the recent comics which seem to be shamelessly milking the post-film popularity (eg Wolverine is in at least four titles). haha… I’m lifting weights right now!

And how come you're using the Royal 'we'? The one thing I didn't know this time last year That 'Lemon Morning Fresh' dishwashing liquid is a perfect substitute for fresh lemons in cooking.

The one thing I didn’t know this time last year

That ‘Lemon Morning Fresh’ dishwashing liquid is a perfect substitute for fresh lemons in cooking.
