How long have you played D&D?

[Rauol_Duke]

Been playing 23 years now. That long and only about 3 successfully completed campaigns...

This is a tricky one. I played my first few games at the houses of a couple friends in the late 80's, none of which really went anywhere. I had a couple more opportunities in Scouts in the early/mid 90's, but those didn't get much farther than writing up the character sheets (although in one I distinctly remember rolling up an unusually strong PC that resulted in a few exasperated and humorous comments from the DM). I haven't had the opportunity to play since, thanks to school, work, getting married, and having a new baby. But I haven't given up hope yet.

I would have made this poll: What year did you start?

I think it'd be interesting to see which year people started because it would give a couple of big spikes I think, but it'd be interesting to see if my conjecture was supported by evidence.

I think this poll needed a clearer definition - as I first played D&D in 1977 I can honestly say 27 years, but also due to the breaks in playing 8 years.

Well, does anyone know when the original yellow boxed Marvel Super Heros came out? It was shortly after that when one of my friends showed me the other game that TSR made.
