I'm a supporter of thread necromancy so I'm happy to submit answers. I may already have answered these questions years ago when the thread started. But now the answers are all different so I might as well answer again.Mark said:
Four players and me, the GM.
Yep
Not for the group I'm answering about. Two of my players GM in other games.
One female out of a total of five.
For a city of 2.5-4 million, depending on your definition, Toronto has to have one of the most pathetic collections of RPG stores I have ever seen. They are generally, expensive, filthy and badly run.
All homebrew.
I am 34. I've been playing for 25 years.
Self-taught, with all the usual mistakes 9-12 year olds make.

When are you going to reveal your Big Honking Project for whcih all these polls have been created, Mark? 
I'm in three groups. I'll label them: D&Da, D&Db, HERO.
1.) How many players in your group?
2.) Do you DM?
3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many?
4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group?
5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it?
6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?
7.) How long have you been playing and how old are you?
8.) Who taught you to play?
I'm in three groups. I'll label them: D&Da, D&Db, HERO.
1.) How many players in your group?
D&Da has 9. D&Db has 4. HERO has 7.
2.) Do you DM?
Not currently. In the HERO group I'm one-shot guy. In D&Da, we switch off occasionally. D&Db has been the same DM for three years now.
3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many?
See above. In D&Da, five of us have run agmes, though only two of that number run regularly. In HERO, it's one of two guys 99% of the time.
4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group?
D&Da is 100% male. D&Db is currently all-male, but had one woman for quite a few years. HERO has two women.
5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it?
Near me? No. The closest good store is Games Plus, which is about a 30-45 minute drive for me.
6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?
D&Da is modules mixed with tidbits of homebrew. D&Db is, I believe, homebrew mixed with tidbits of modules. HERO is 100% homebrew.
7.) How long have you been playing and how old are you?
I'm 35 and have been gaming for 25 years.
8.) Who taught you to play?
Hmm... I'd say that I taught myself how to play. The instances where I had a more experienced player around to show me things were pretty rare. My friends and I blazed our own trail, helped by the rulebooks and Dragon. God bless that magazine.

1.) How many players in your group?
a) 6
2.) Do you DM?
a) no

a) I had a GM when i first started who attempted to teach us Warhammer Fantasy, but he was a jerk, so I just got a copy of the PHB for D&D and started playing with my friends. Self-taught
So, yeah, i'm definitely leaving my current game. THe GM is a bogged-down level-hater who gives 1/10th experience, and expects us to be glad. The party is out of balance (2 fully equipped characters, 3 with only 2000 gold worth of equipment at 10th level) , and the GM has started saying things like "If you don't like it, leave" and "we could just cancel this whole thing right now" to the outraged players... bad sign, all around.

4 to 9, depending on the game, though I've had up to 13 at one time (ugh).Mark said:
Almost exclusively.
Not as far as I know.
Far too disproportionate. 95% males, and that might be generous. I'd prefer more female gamers in the group.
I am a game store. http://nightchilde.net
98% homebrew. I hate modules.
I'm 32. I've been playing since around 1987 or so.
Actually..nobody. My parents bought me the old D&D basic set on a whim and gave it to me and I've been a self-motivated gamer since then.
