D&D General How old were you when you started playing D&D?

Pretty sure I owned a D&D boxed set before an Atari 2600.

I got both the same summer.

I started around age 8 and now are 47. My father introduced it through some people at work who thought we would have fun. He started at age 32 and is 73 now, but he would not know what a website is to post to.

I started in secondary school, probably around 14 or 15, but only really stayed into it for a year or two. Then I came back around to it when I was about 30, a little after 3rd Edition came out. I'm currently 49.

My friends older brother introduced us to D&D (Mentzer red box) when I was 7, we then played a mix of BECMI and AD&D without realizing they were actually different lines for a while. We still play a mix of 2e and BECMI now. I am currently 42.

I started when I was 11-12 with a used version of the Moldvay box, moving to Advanced D&D not to soon afterwards. I'm 49 now.
