There are 6 of us.
Why, yes, I am the DM!
Not at the moment, but supposedly one of the other guys wants to give it a go at some point.
All male in this particular group.
There is an awesome comic book shop, where the owner would special order gaming stuff if I asked, but no...no game stores nearby.
Oh, I have (at least in my mind) an awesome idea for a homebrew, but I don't have the time put it all together so I'm currently running a Ptolus game almost verbatim out of the book and pdfs.
I've been playing since the fall of 1989 and I'm 34 years old at this posting.
A guy I had just met at a birthday party. He asked if I had ever played and offered to let me in the game he was running. Today he's my best friend and I even named one of my sons after him.
1.) 4 players right now. Maybe a fifth joining at the end of the summer.
2.) I've done only a few times, but I would like to do it more.
3.) All but one player likes to DM, so we actually shout shotgun when the current DM "retires".
4.) All male.
5.) Got two. Fantask and Faraos' Cigarer (Cigars of the Pharaoh, like the Tintin comic.)
6.) Only homebrew so far, but if I get the chance to DM I wil most likely use stuff from Dungeon.
7.) I have been playing for almost 7 years and I am 21 years old.
8.) There was a RPG-club in Junior High, where me and some friends joined and learned to play D&D, Vampire and Shadowrun. Those where the days..

I'm playing in three game groups right now (D&D/DSA/Earthdawn):
1) 9/8/3
2) yes/no/no
3) 1/1/2
4) females: 2/2/0
5) no; there've been two but they're both long gone now
6) mostly customized modules/solely modules/a mix of homebrew and modules
7) 24/35
8) started playing self-taught but didn't really get it (I was playing the whole party in a 1-on-1 game) until introduced by someone from my school (about 5 years older than myself). It's amazing how many rpgs fail at describing how to actually play the game!
