We have categories? Is Darci writing a book about us? (Paranoid? I?) Pretend you don't know about the categories. A book about "us", well no, but about you? Umm, should not be discussed, don't want to say much until the psychological profiles and background research is complete.

That should about cover me... Ahhhh - that brings back such pleasant memories.. Such as how well dressed the slum gangs in the movie were dressed. In our road shoe, we definitely looked like 1962 street punks. As to how old my wife and I were when we first played D&D? Old enough to know better. Either white box (probably) or 1st Basic; the timing was close enough to misremember.

It was 1977 and I was 17, I know I told this story before but.... I had just joined a wargame club and at the session they told me to roll up 3 char. I had a Mormon cleric, Beowulf, and his two wives a thief and Betha Battle .Bertha ended up being the star of the game and gotlike twice as mny ep as the next guy. The whle group was horrified thaat I had female chars, even the 4 or so gamer wives had male char. Big LOLS everytime I think about it.

Wait a minute, they were horrified that a guy was playing a female character even though several women were playing male characters? Go figure. As the ref you play all NPC characters regardless of what they are.

Nine of you were under 10 when you started playing D&D? That is awesome!
One of you was past 60 when you started playing D&D? That is also awesome!

I thought that I answered this one, but I guess I didn't. I started playing in 1993, I was 20 years old. I grew up in the country and I didn't meet like-minded folks until after I graduated high school. None of us could afford college or good drugs but we went for a bohemian education anyhow. There was probably around 12 people who rented 3 different places and we were dirt poor, so AD&D 2nd Edition was our favourite source of entertainment. We couldn't afford all of the books that went with it, so we made a lot of stuff up, and would take turns DMing. We were hippies. Nerdy hippies. Still are.

Bohemia over in Europe did you say?

1980 I was 13 and just discovering sci fi and fantasy books. Saw an ad for Moldvay Basic in Asimov Magazine asked for and received the boxed set for my birthday. Then encountered AD&D at school. Such happy times, memories and great friends made!

I was 19 when I first played OD&D. I have often wished I was slightly older and in Dave Arneson's gaming group in the Twin Cities or to have played it at about 6 years old in early 1974.
