D&D General As old as D&D

[Atomoctba]

I am. I started playing when I was six in 1980 with the neighbor across the street.

Hehehe... I just discovered D&D in my teens, around 1988... But my younger sister-in-law born in 2004, two months before the launch of World of Warcraft. I still measure her age by that parameter

Wow…very similar timeline!

The neighbor kid was older and started me in isle of dread…

I was eight when it came out, but didn't play till I was nine or ten - it was somewhere close to my birthday but I'm not positive which side of it. Things didn't spread as fast back then.

Still came in through wargames like older grognards though. Started gaming with a teacher's copy of Jutland when I was seven, and the first games I bought for myself with allowance money were Ogre and Chitin: I.

When I started playing D&D it was only 9 years old. I was slightly older.

This thread makes me feel good. I've been feeling old lately as my 32nd birthday approaches this fall.

Compared to the rest of you lot however I'm practically a toddler.

When I was your age, I had a toddler. Luckily he grew up to play D&D with me.

It it true when old people talk about time flying though.

I now have a campaign with my three kids. One had no interest initially and then jumped in with her siblings and uncle—my bro.

Getting older is not all great but offers some new D&D vistas!

I am hoping to play again soon too…so many characters to try too!

I never thought conciously about that, but suddenly I perceived I have the same age as D&D once I am turning 50 years old this year.

Who else is hitting their first half century this year?

Almost. 48 last month.

I turn 50 in September.
