Hey everyone!

Hello all,
My name is Doyle, and I have been playing RPGs sine 1979, when I got my Holmes 'Blue Box' set. I have playing ever since.
I have played and mostly GMed many different games since then, including AD&D, including 1st, B/X, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, Pathfinder, Bushido, V&V, RQ2, 3, Stormbringer/Elric, Call of Cthulhu (lots and lots of Call of Cthulhu), Ringworld, WFRP 1 and 2, Hero Wars, Heroquest 1 and 2, Mongoose RQ 2, Spirit of the Century, Nephilim, Vampire, Mage, Powers & Perils, Traveller, Traveller New Era, Mongoose Traveller, Tunnels and Trolls, Shadowrun, Space 1889, The Dying Earth, and some others I don't remember the name of. Most recently, I have been running a S&W Wilderlands campaign.
As I look over this list, I realize that I have got to play and experience a lot more than many others. It's funny, because I remembering feeling quite a bit of dissatisfaction up until a few tears ago, when I made conscious decision to both play more and to focus on play rather than prep and planning. I have been much happier since that time.
In a nutshell, I think that is what attracts me most to the DCC rpg - the gonzo, over the top approach to play, that reflects the focus of the entire OSR movement - the realization, after so many years, that the play's the thing!
