So, the late Rick Loomis shepherded us through a round of practice games, then ran a three-round bracket. I won't say I was better at playing #LostWorlds than the other newbies, I was just less worse.

And that's how my name got on the #FlyingBuffalo Trophy Wall.

#LostWorlds was one of the classics I'd never played, so I signed up for a learn-and-tournament event held by the game's publisher, #FlyingBuffalo Inc. I assumed I'd go out of a tournament in the first round.

It was supposed to be a 64-person tournament. Only eight people showed up, all newbies!

Fantasy boxed sets and several different editions of Runequest and other Chaosium fantasy games

GURPS, and a bunch of non-traditional sized RPGs, from Evil Hat and others.

Castle Falkenstein, The Arcanum setting, The Primal Order, a bunch of Flying Buffalo generic books and others, some Warhammer stuff, The Primal Order, Theatrix, things like that.

Blue Rose, Exalted, some other World of Darkness stuff, and a bunch of generic systems, including EABA and CORPS from BTRC, Fudge, etc.

Second shelf unit (same as the first a little bit louder and a little bit worse?) This is mostly generics and non-D&D fantasy stuff (...mostly)
