How long have we all been playing RPGs?

[Grazzt]

I started in 1982......age 11 or 12.

 

[Mercule]

1983 with the Red Box. I was 10.

 

[SylverFlame]

1987 at age 5 for table top. Good ol'DnD. I was the DM's assistant because my older brother didn't want to play with his "whiny kid brother". Read the books, memorized the rules and terrorized my brother as a rather strict rules lawyer. At that point they decided it was better having me on their side of the screen.

First console game was FF for NES. Can't remember when we got the system...

 

[Krieg]

1980 as well.

That appears to be the second big "boom" year for D&D.

 

[d4]

it was either 1981 or '82 -- in my old age i can't seem to remember anymore.

 

[pawsplay]

1983

 

[pogre]

1975 - my cousin ran a game. I went too deep in the dungeon too fast and was swallowed by a Purple Worm. Ahhhh, back in the day when there was ONE dungeon per campaign!

 

[Mark]

Born in 1962, RPGing since 1974

 

[Wormwood]

1981 (the year that the Fiend Folio came out)

I distincly remember being mystified by the d4.

/too damn old

Started playing in 1983 when I was 11. Didn't get a regular group until 1988 though.
