Number of Years Gaming

[sheadunne]

As the title says, how many years have you been playing RPG games? I'm not sure if this poll has been done before, but I'm always curious about it.

I've been gaming since 1985, so 28 years.

I started in 1982. Man, 31 years...and I still have that books from the first box I bought (D&D Expert Set, Moldvay revision)...though the box and dice are long gone.

My books are long gone from my original 83 red box, but I still have 2 crayon colored d10s (one red, one blue) from the set. The last remnants of my gaming past lol

I started in the fall of 1982. I was a freshman in high school, and I had fallen in with fellow fans of fantasy and science fiction, early video games, and heavy metal.

I got the D&D Boxed Set and the Lord of the Rings books that Christmas, and I haven't stopped since then!

 

[Ed_Laprade]

I started in '78 or '79, but I haven't actually played for several years. I checked the 31-35 'box', but it may fall somewhere in the 26-30 range. But I'm still a gamer!

Started in 80 as well, though I was only 6 at the time. Still have the red box books, my two original sets of crayon-ed in dice (one yellow and one blue), my first two characters, and the now crushed flat box floating around my parent's house somewhere. The plastic bag and Dixie cup I used to keep my set of cut-out chits in has long since vanished however.

I started in '75 or '76, no longer quite sure which. My older brother still has our original basic rulebook and dungeon geomorphs, although we started with a set of handwritten rules he cribbed from the original 3 book set a friend owned; it took us several months to get a "real" set of rules!
