[Ralts Bloodthorne]

OK, I'll give this one a shot, but it will take awhile. LOL

Everyone, tell us about your games, please.

Sure. I love threads like this!

1.) How many players in your group?

Depends. Some nights it's as few as 3 of us (counting me, the DM), but some times it is as many as 10 if I let my 2 kids play.

2.) Do you DM?

Usually. I'm starting to get a little burnt on DMing though. I've been DMing for about 4 years straight for this group.

3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many?

One guy tries his hand at d20 Modern GMing (he's better than I am at it), but for the most part, I DM

4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group?

Some nights it's 1 out of 3, but others it's 4 out of 10.

5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it?

No good gaming stores, but the lady who runs the local bookstore (O'Toole Bookseller) orders all our stuff for us that we ask for, no matter how bizarre.

6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?

Homebrew. I haven't seen a decent module that my players wouldn't do an end-around run on in about 8 years.

7.) How long have you been playing and how old are you?

I've been playing since 1978, and my age is nonya.

8.) Who taught you to play?

Nobody. We saw the chainmail books (the old tan ones) and saw people playing it at the book store, so we picked it up.

Answer any or all of the above, please...

Sure. Hope that answers a few things.
