SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How old were you when you started playing roleplaying games?

Age you started playing RPGs: 12
Year you started playing: 1994
D&D Edition or Other Game you started with: AD&D 2E.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

Age: 10 (12)
Year: 1987
Game: AD&D

I received the AD&D Monster Manual 1 from a friend. Not knowing what it was, I tried to create a game using the entries with poker chips and Monopoly dice. It eventually ended up buried in my toy box.

It wasn't until a few years later that I "discovered" the AD&D Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide in a comic book store. From there, I was sold on RPGs.
No thanks.

Quote from: Dunnagin;749109If it's not a hassle, could people state:

Quote from: Dunnagin;748977I like data, and this thread interests me a lot!
Here's the age, date and D&D edition or other RPG people started with, based on written replies to the thread.

I also extrapolated each persons current age where I could (please forgive me).


11, 1985, BX (50)


I think this particular statistic may be me since I said I was 11 in 1985 and started out playing BX.

Not to be pedantic or anything but in the interest of more accurate data I'm 40 now, not 50 :)
