Anyone else? Lots of publishers read these boards and this is a great way to help them gear their products to you.

That's still very true...

[clockworkcrab]

1.) How many players in your group?
Four, plus DM.

2.) Do you DM?
You betcha.

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

4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group?
Currently four males, one female.

5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it?
Not near enough. In Vancouver there's a few that have the core WotC stuff, but for the rarer stuff I have to drive out to Imperial Hobbies in Richmond. Which is >30mins depending on traffic.

6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?
The campaign is mostly homebrew, though I've run some heaviliy adapted modules when I need some filler between levels.

7.) How long have you been playing and how old are you?
I'm 27, and I've been playing seriously for 6-7 years.

8.) Who taught you to play?
My roomies back in university convinced me to play. Then after a few sessions they convinced me to DM. I'm convinced it was a nefarious plan from the start. And, of course, it worked.

[Sollir Furryfoot]

1.) How many players in your group?
Currently 4, including myself. Starting a new game over the summer which should have 6-8

2.) Do you DM?
Yes, pretty much exclusively. One of my players had a go at a campaign which lasted about 4 sessions but trailed off after that.

3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many?
Just my other player who was interested, although him and another one were planning to DM something else originally

4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group?
All male, but we had a female player in the past who quit due to a lack of time. In our new game we might have 2 girls.

5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it?
Eh, it's s'ok. Place called Meta Games in town has the most books, a good selection but not very warm/home-y.

6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?
All homebrew. Ran a dungeon magazine adventure once, but that was for an alternate universe-ish type thing when a player couldn't make it.

7.) How long have you been playing and how old are you?
Had the advanced D&D books for 5 years but didn't play for a while, I've been playing online for 4 years, IRL for 2 and I'm a fairly young 18.

8.) Who taught you to play?
Myself the basics, and then lots of trial and error (grappling rules and disarm and such) til I got it right.

[kenobi65]

1.) How many players in your group?

Actually, I'm in 4 different groups (though a couple of players, most notably my wife, are in several of the groups)

Group 1: 9 players, plus 2 on semi-permanent leave due to family issues.
Group 2: 4 players
Group 3: 7 players
Group 4: a loose-knit group of folks who play RPGA modules together online; probably 20 or so all told, though we (obviously) never all play together at once.

2.) Do you DM?

Yes. I'm the sole DM for groups 1 and 2, primary for 3, occasional for 4.

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

Groups 1 and 2, no one else DMs.
Group 3, 5 out of the 7 DM at least occasionally.
Group 4, probably half of us DM at some point.

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

Group 1: 6 men, 3 women.
Group 2: 3 men, 1 woman.
Group 3: 5 men, 2 women.
Group 4: 12 men, 8 women.

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

Thank gawd, yes. Thalmin's Games Plus.

6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?

Group 1: Homebrew, but based in the Forgotten Realms, so I use a lot of that source material.
Group 2: All modules (though sometimes adapted for the Realms).
Group 3: A mix; I'd guess that 3/4 of what I run for that group is modules. The other DMs for that group are more likely to run homebrew stuff.
Group 4: All RPGA modules.

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

Just turned 40. I've been playing for 23 years.

8.) Who taught you to play?

The kid next door.

 

[Rika]

1.) How many players in your group?

4 including the DM.

2.) Do you DM?

Nope. Well, I have but I'm not terribly good and don't really enjoy it so. . . .

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

No, though one other has in the past. Well, other than the DM of course.

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

50-50. DM is my hubby.

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

Yep, Hastur's. It's not the best I've ever seen, but since it's really the only decent gamestore around it's good.

6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?

All homebrew.

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

Well, as depressing as it is I'll be 30 in less than a month. I've been playing for 15 years. Though I'm still shocked it's been that long.

8.) Who taught you to play?

Well, I was introduced to gaming by my SO in High School. I learned to play over the years. From a variety of different people and from trying things out myself.
