I cried my eyes out when the Doctor appeared to die at the end of Planet of The Spiders; my Mum said "don't worry, Jay - he's not dead. Keep watching...you'll see". A couple of minutes later, he regenerated and turned into Tom Baker. I was happy again.

That would be Doctor Who. My earliest memories of it are from Jon Pertwee's final season; I was 3 years old when it started, 4 when it ended (I almost certainly watched it before then, as Mum and Dad always did, but any memories are long since gone).I cried my eyes out when the Doctor appeared to die at the end of Planet of The Spiders; my Mum said "don't worry, Jay - he's not dead.

Natalia wouldn't ever let her skills fade in this way. Her moves have arranged the pieces on the board you're both picturing to resemble the positions of key elements in the apartment - and that means that where the black King is stood must be where Camilla is right now, lurking just out of sight. To dive out of the seat to your right and shoot at the vampire with your modified handgun, turn to page 92.

Maybe Star Trek? Or Doctor Who? Hard to say- I've always remembered seeing SciFi stuff on tv (and liking it), and was blown away when the original Star Wars hit the cinema. I have a bunch of the old serials and love them still. It was definitely a lot more prevalent when I was young than fantasy, presumably because of the whole space race thing that was happening.

Well, now Princess Chelsea is my new favorite. THANK YOU!
I've discovered so many new acts through this, so I'm glad I could finally return the favour!

Probably TV - Star Trek or Doctor Who.

I have never really been interested in horror. I have seen some elements of it in other genres. I played a couple of CoC scenarios, but never really got a horror vibe out of it. WFRP has some horror elements, but they never come to the fore as particularly horrific. Not in the games I have played, anyway.

Your service to King Horsa has ended. You are both slaves now, in The Red Pit

Sigurd would have Nordheimer (his native tongue) as a language also, but other than that his character sheet looks fine, Rueben.

I’m not sure — it might have been From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne, or the TV series UFO, during or more probably before my elementary school years.
I've been hooked since then.

Probably cartoons, but I have a memory from school - and I would have been about 10 maybe. I'd progressed past the set reading material and was allowed to choose from the free reading books. I found a small book about an astronaut exploring an alien planet, and as a bonus it was a CYOA branching story!
I still have no idea what the book was, and efforts to track it down have been fruitless. It was smaller than regular paperback size, landscape orientation, and I remember black and white illustrations. And that's all I have to go on (and I have to assume my memory hasn't corrupted the details over the years!)
