I probably answered this one before, but things change over time.

Everyone, tell us about your games, please.

1.) How many players in your group?

Six regulars and three occasional joiners. Of course, one of the regulars gets to be DM.

2.) Do you DM?

Yes.

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

Two at the moment, in alternating weeks, but five people have been DMs in total.

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

Two women (one who only shows up occasionally).

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

Several. (Hairy Tarantula and Grey Regions for me, but some of the other gamers don't live downtown. Our gaming group doesn't meet downtown, either.) They're in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?

A mixture, but at the moment mainly modules.

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

12 years (now 26).

8.) Who taught you to play?

Another DM, I suppose (he doesn't come to this site that I know of). I met him at school.

 

[sniffles]

Gee, how did I miss this one?

Everyone, tell us about your games, please.

1.) How many players in your group?

5 to 7, depending on the particular campaign.

2.) Do you DM?

Not yet.

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

Yes, most of the male players GM regularly.

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

5 male, 3 female.

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

Yes, several: I mostly frequent Bridgetown Hobbies here in Portland, but there's also Z-Games in Vancouver, WA and Rainy Day Games in Hillsboro, OR.

6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?

It's a mix, mainly in published settings but using homebrew adventures.

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

I'm 44 and I've been playing for about 11 years.

8.) Who taught you to play?

My fiancee and some of his friends taught me to play RuneQuest. D&D came along a few years later in our group. Everyone was sick of D&D when I joined the gaming group, but after a long hiatus they all went back to it.

1.) How many players in your group? - 12, although not everyone plays in every campaign or every session. Two of the players can only game once every 2 or 3 months. The largest campaign has 8 regular players, but usually there's only 5-6 players at any given time.

2.) Do you DM? - I have, but don't currently.

3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? - Yes, there are three other DMs besides me, all of whom are currently running games.

4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group? - 6 males, 6 females

5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it? - Yes, Games Plus in Mt Prospect

6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff? - the next campaign I run will be 90% Dungeon adventures that will be adapted to the campaign. One DM is running the World's Largest Dungeon, the other two use a mixture of homebrew and published adventures.

7.) How long have you been playing and how old are you? - I started playing D&D when I was about 10, but I stopped playing around 13. I played other RPGs when I was 17-19, then stopped again when I went to college. I started playing RPGs again 1997 and haven't stopped since. I am 34 years old now.

8.) Who taught you to play? - I taught myself. I asked my mom for the basic box set and I read through it and ran adventures for my cousin and my sister.

 

[Rafael Ceurdepyr]

1) 4 in our group
2) Yes, I DM
3) Yes, 3 of us take it in turns
4) 2 male, 2 female
5) Yes! Legion ("formerly Empire Comics") in Birmingham, AL is most excellent for gaming supplies.
6) Mainly homebrew stuff. The last published module we played was The Witchfire Trilogy (vol. 2) and were very disappointed in it. Two of us are freelance game designers, though, so we've always got new ideas.
7) Currently I've been playing for about 8-10 out of the last 22 years. I'm 45, chronologically.
8) Don't remember exactly who, but I first heard of it from a friend of my brother's, Roger Haney. He and Rhett Mitchell and Ken Cumings and a few others were among the first gaming group I played with back in high school. Waaay back in AD&D days.
