How many players in your group?<<Ummm, depending on the game, either 8 or 5. We alternate between two campaigns run by different DMs and not everyone plays in each game. We used to have 9 people, but one guy started acting like a jerk, so I don't know if he's coming back or not.>>2.) Do you DM?<<I've been running a Star Wars game, but I do have a couple of D&D settings I run when it's my turn.>>3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many?<<Yep, we have four GMs including me. Currently one is running a "Vile" campaign set in Greyhawk (we're playing the evil bastards), and another DM will be starting a game in the Forgotten Realms once the SW game wraps up. I and the other DM use primarily homebrew worlds.>>4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group?<<4 female, 4 male.>>5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it?<<Games Plus is probably the best, but Gamer's Paradise in the Century Mall (Chicago) is much closer. I tend to buy most of my stuff online, though. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />>>6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?<<Depends on the DM. I like to write my own, but in a pinch I will tailor short modules to suit a storyline. One DM uses pretty much all original stuff. Another uses pretty much all modules with modifications for story. The last DM runs games more or less by improvisation. That covers all the bases, doesn't it?>>7.) How long have you been playing and how old are you?<<I am 32 and I've been playing on and off for about 21 years. Wait, I just looked at my first book and the copyright is 1980 - 23 years!>>8.) Who taught you to play?<<I taught myself, I guess. I read an article about the game in a scholastic magazine (you know, the ones you get in grade school?) and I begged my parents to buy it for my birthday. I got the red box set, which I still have without the box and even with the ugly brown peeling dice, and I forced my younger brother, my younger sister and a cousin to play. I was the DM, of course. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
