Well, to it!

1) Usually 4, we don't like games with much too people, makes everyone pay less attention.

2)Yes I do, even though I had some problems with it...

3) the group I usually play have one other master that is actually dming, and one that every once in a while does.

4) All male, characters varies.

5) Well, we got two stores, but as we prefer books in english a good store is not anywhere near, the books in english costs 3 times more now, cause of dollar prices (3 to 1 now).

6) We rarely use modules and we prefer to think things together, the other dm is using a setting made mostly by him, with some hlp from me, low magic, no raise dead or such spells, with very good dedtail for the areas players are gonna explore.

7) I have been playing for around 12 years now, i am 22 right now, almost 23...

8) I started playing with steve jacksons game-books, but soon passed on to AD&D, a friend in school, named Yuri, played it and made a campaign for our group of friends, it all started then... a gift and a curse.

that makes it!! edited for typos
