How many people have you played D&D with?

[Piratecat]

I've run or played D&D with about 1400 people. I've been at about 320 RPGA games (between '89 and 2000, mostly), each of which averages six other people but has a little more than a 1/3rd overlap. Add on people at game store demos, my actual players, and close to 100 EN Worlders (between game days and GenCon), and you get an appallingly high number!

And I answered 101+, not all of them.

I voted about 41-60. I did got to one con back in the day, and had a session/tournament with at least 12 other people playing - 11 other players and the DM, that is. (I came in 2nd place behind a fellow who did a masterful job of playing a cleric, I was an elven magic user/thief ... this was back in 1986 or so)

The others have been people I have played with over the years. My guess would be it is likely somewhere in the lower 40's, though.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

More than I can recall. I have gamed all over the states (from IN to CA, east to west wise) and with more than 100 people, that is a fact.

High fifties. I've never played D&D at a con game, as I seek out games with which I'm unfamiliar at cons. All of those people are friends from long-term games, except for some folks from a long-term game at Lehigh University's game club who I have mostly forgotten over the years.

Over 100

About 25 people during middle and high school.
Another 20 people during college
8 people in groups from the late 90's
10 people from a raotating group in the early 00's
6 people in a group that few roations have happened that goes on now
And then I'd guess another 100 or so at the many cons I've played at and ran games for.

 

[Keith Robinson]

Another 41-60 with the vast majority of those since 3ed. This includes a few conventions, game days, etc, but mostly just through joining or running groups.

 

[Valesin]

Well over a hundred thanks to cons. 21-40 in home games.

Well, if I do an actual count (rather than estimate) I get 92 people I played D&D with, that I'm sure of. I'm almost certainly forgetting a few people that I only played one or two sessions with (I had it at 89 when I started typing this, then remembered three more), so there's a good chance I'd be at over 100, but my "official" vote is 81-100.

Haven't been to a single convention or RPGA event, either... It just took me a while of bouncing from game to game (some games only lasted a few months, most I left because they weren't quite my thing, a couple I *ahem* got asked to leave ) to finally end up with a solid group of 6-7 people I fit in well with. (It took a while, but it was worth it... We'd finished a year-long Level 1 - Level 14 campaign in August, and started another one in September that's going well so far.)

Over 100.

I've been to a number of conventions, each of which added from 4-15 new players to my count, a ton of mini-conventions (most of which added 2-4 people to my count), played in many different groups of from 2-20 players, etc. I've played since the early 80s, so I have had a lot of time to build up my gaming network. Also, I've done some traveling during which I stayed at random ENWorlders' homes, and a lot of those places we ended up playing some dnd.

 

[kenobi65]

Well over 100, due to RPGA and convention play.

Even if you only count home games, the number's gotta be well over 50, maybe close to 100, over the past 24 years. In that time, I've been a member of 6 distinct game groups, all of which had a fair amount of member churn over time.

I still play semi-regularly with the first group I ever played with. A couple of years ago, those of us who have been around in that group from the beginning tried to make a list of everyone who had been in that group over the years. We wound up with 45 or so people, and we were certain that we'd forgotten a few who'd only been with us for a short time.
