History of the Game Part 1

In 1993 a group of my friends and I all played pen and paper role-playing games, and were getting bored with what was on the market at the time. After about a week we decided that we could create an RPG from are favorite parts of the RPGs we were growing tired of, sort of like a Frankenstein’s monster of RPGs.

Well, within a week of working on the game, we had the rules, the races, classes, character sheets and everything we needed to play. The game was appropriately named V.A.O.D.G. an acronym for Various Amounts Of Different Games.

When the game was finished every role-player I knew was playing V.A.O.D.G. and every other RPG we had played in the past had taken a backseat to this game. This lasted for the next two years until I went into the military. When I came back, V.A.O.D.G. was still there but my friends had cut back on the amount of role-playing they did. We were no longer as hardcore as we were in the early 90’s. Then in February of 1997 I moved to Arizona, and a year later so did two of my closest friends. V.A.O.D.G. at this point was all but dead.
