For about 10 years of my life (starting with Basic D&D in '79) the only thing
I enjoyed more than playing RPGs was designing them. I think I've tried most
of the ones mentioned so far, and quite a few that weren't (anyone remember
Aftermath, Rolemaster, Privateers and Gentlemen?). In the last decade it
has been mostly Runequest and Continuum, the latter being my own creation:
sort of a Champions-inspired GURPS before there was a GURPS or a Hero
system. Continuum started out as a RPG but slowly evolved into an RPG
toolkit, ie. a system for constructing game systems. (I wonder if my day
job as a software library designer had anything to do with that :)
Guess which member of this list (not me) is a published author of a
Shadowrun source book.
