ENworlder: How long have you been gaming?

[StreamOfTheSky]

And thank you very much for making me feel old!

On the plus side, I haven't felt this young since I was in college! (one year ago)

I hit my 30th anniversary in Nov 2008. That's when I got my AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide. I got my PHB a few days later and was rolling dice with my 7th grade friends a couple of days after that.

Dang, that's a long time... And I still have that DMG.

In 1995, I started DMing games online. I haven't gamed offline since then.

Wow, moving to NC 18 months ago, I have found there's a lot of gaming. And you haven't played a face-to-face game in 14 years? Holy smokes!

Are games harder to find in the Piedmont triad (Winston-Salem/High Point/Greensboro for the uninitiated), or do you just prefer online? And why? I am genuinely curious because I was thinking of doing an online game, but I would never drop my f2f game if I could only do one.

28 years.

Started in 1994... though I was 18 then; if I'd started in junior high like some of you, I'd be just cracking 20 years instead of 15...

So you are old, too? Just not quite as old . . .

Yep. Old is me.

I first played back in 1977. The AD&D Monster Manual was already out, but not the AD&D Players Handbook.

I started in the summer of 1977, at 7 years old. Since I just turned 39 in November, rpgs have been present in my life for 31 years, or for 77.8% of my life

 

[ExploderWizard]

Started in 1980. 25+ for me. Where's my cane?

Voted 20-24, but I'm only a few months from my 25th anniversary.
