Old enough to remember Star Trek: TOS, "Wild, Wild West", and "Combat" in first run.

should i have put 1940s as an option?

I was born a couple of weeks before OD&D was launched in January of 74.

Me too! In a recent D&D History book (I forget which, I've read a bunch) it was said that Gary drove the manuscript to the printers on the day I was born!

That's exactly what a person who shot JFK would say

Oh we are old.

I thought I was getting a little bit more of millennial vibe here, but I guess its just millennial wannabe.

Another Gen Xer 'reporting for duty'.

I used to beat up Moses for his lunch money in the fourth grade...
Adam hooked up with Eve at a party I brought her to...
When God said, "Let There be light!", he knew damn well I was hung over...

Does show how old this place leans, even if I'm so far the only one born in the 50's (albeit late 50's in my case).

A lot of us started when 3e and forums were young.

My guess is that younger folks moved to modern social media slop.

The general gaming Discord I'm on doesn't seem to have a radically different distribution. That may be because it spun off a different RPG forum, though.
