Message: <blockquote data-quote="Malcolm" data-source="post: 1027079" data-attributes="member: 11180">1.) How many players in your group?Which one? The local home campaign varies between 3 and 7 players, depending on season. The GenCon Legacy campaign varies between 8 and 10 (none attending this year, lots o’ babies arrived!)2.) Do you DM?Yep. I assume you mean Dungeon Master and not something more insidious…3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many?Yep. 4 of the local set swap out DM position, and 1 other does world building (he’s working on getting ready to DM), another is a retired DM (Torg rpg). In the GenCon Legacy group 7 DM (includes the local group), but only 1 DM runs the current campaign. 4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group?Local = all male.  GC = 1 female (though one of the DM/players has various females in his own group)5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it?Yep, got 2. Mayhem and Regal Hobbies, both of which allow in store time and facilities for the local gamers and after hours sessions to run.6.) Mainly modules or homebrew stuff?Homebrew. I created the world and have 3 other DMs who co-run it with me locally.  Nationally I have about 8 other DMs who use “parallel” world schemes, when I update house rules or find neat articles I pass them along.7.) How long have you been playing and how old are you?24 years come this Fall, and I’m 32.8.) Who taught you to play?Myself.  My older brother had a copy of one of the earliest book sets (the cover had a light blue wash) and I fell in love with it; my mother told me I was too young to play the game (I was 8).  Defiant to the last I demanded to learn how, my brother loaned me his copy of the books and said “If you read this, All of it, and can understand it, I’ll let you play.”  Within 6 months I knew more about the game than he did after playing since Chainmail had come out. When I was 10 I started playing AD&D with some other kids at school. We were so giddy about playing the “Advanced” version, and so squirrly in our youth, that we gave ourselves treasure at character creation because the MM listed Elves as Treasure Type G, S, and T! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  <salutes old crew></blockquote>
