[QUOTE="WanderingMonster, post: 1025802, member: 573"] [b]Re: Lurkers, Non-Genconners, Tell us about your games, please![/b] [i]Originally posted by Mark [/i] 1.) How many players in your group? I wish I could quote a regular number, but let's say that I have a pool of eight, but usually end up with an average of five. That includes myself. 2.) Do you DM? Yes. Yes, I do. 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? We've got one other DM in the group so far. I would say that He DMs maybe 10-20% of the time. Mostly it's me. 4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group? Three of the Pool of Eight are female. The rest--I believe--are male. 5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it? No, unfortunately. I live in a rural area and no such thing exists in these here parts. There was a decent shop in the previous city I lived, and I try to go there whenever I get to go back. 6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff? 95% homebrew. This is good or bad depending on how much prep I've done. I tend to wing it, so modules actually don't end up being much of a time saver for me. You actually have to read them first, you know? 7.) How long have you been playing and how old are you? I've been playing since 1978-ish. I'm going to be 33 (on Monday). This really is the thing I'd rather be doing than almost anything else. 8.) Who taught you to play? We taught ourselves. Needless to say, we played incorrectly for many many years, but we had fun. I actually bothered to learn the rules fairly late in life, with the advent of 2e. I should bitterly mention that I [i]was[/i] going to go to GenCon until we decided we couldn't afford the trip. Oh well. I got better. [/QUOTE]
