There are some polls that a lot of the current members may not have seen, so lets give them a new look.

For me it was September of 1975, so I was a little late to the party. But as of today I am a few short months away from 45 years.

Technically, I still haven't. I played AD&D first in 1993 and I didn't even play Classic D&D-- Rules Cyclopedia-- until 2013. Twenty years later. First time I noticed that.

Check the last box, we will assume that at some point you will play, even if it is a play by post on here. 2020 or later. Ten or twenty years from now would be or later.  |

1977. There was a magazine called "Wargamers Digest" There was an add for a group in a near by town and me and a couple of my friends and I started playing WW2
miniatures. After a couple of months we played D&D, at first I liked ww2 more. After playing 2 or 3 times I made a small dungion and was a big hit.

I don't know that I have ever answered an ad like that, although truth to tell I never looked either. It never occurred to me to look. Yeah, sometimes I am a bit slow. |

I started playing as a small child, so around 2000-2002 when I was four to six years old my parents helped me make my first character.

1978 with a bunch of teens, wife at the time, her kid brother and his friends. Only good thing I got out of that marriage.

May of 1974, heard about it and ordered it, once it came then I had to figure out how it worked. That took a couple of months, to find something that worked.

Strictly speaking, never, so I didn't vote. But started thinking in those terms in 2015 and started working on my own scattered material, sort of in earnest, in 2019.

I have never tried OD&D. I first was introduced to AD&D 1st ed. in the early 1980's. Games never lasted though, I've spent a ton of time playing GURPS. Now, I've finally joined a EPT group (VTT, nice young folks). What I'd love to play is an Arduin game.    |
