I'm nearly 28. In one group, I'm the oldest player, in another, the youngest...strange. I started playing (A)D&D in summer 1991 with a paladin (his hp rollings were absolute lucky: with one exception (a 2) they were all 9 or 10s, with con 16, he ended up in lvl 16 with 128 hp IIRC).
 

Seems lots of people started in 1980...

I'm 37, and I first played (A)D&D in May 1980.

but here's the clincher:

I'm 28 and I first played D&D in June 1980. That made me 6 years old when I first played. I was DMing soon after at 8!

Personally I think starting this early was very healthy for my intellectual development. Because of this I've been very biased since then about the positive mental benefits of roleplaying games (i.e. when my peers where making mud pies, I was graphing dungeons and thinking of sinister ways to do my players in - READ--> creative problem solving).

I've always considered RPGing at a young age to be as good as early musical or language training (if not better ;-)

Yay? Boo?


Yay! It's my birthday.
Boo! I'd rather it was a slightly lower number.

Keep up at the back there! :D

Oh well, you're only as old as the woman you feel. That'll make me 36 then :)
