Is There Much Age Difference In Your RPGing Group?

[Evilhalfling]

It stared at 18-42
3 yrs later 17-45
with two of us in our thirties.

Depends upon what you call "much", I guess. There's a spread of five years or so amongst us currently, though that spread has been larger in the past.

 

[Glyfair]

Oldest 42. Youngest 16. No, not a huge age difference.

Depending on which of my three groups we're talking about, yes.

Group 1 ranges from 17 to 62. (The range wasn't quite as wide...38 to 62...until we had 17-year-old twin girls join us a few months back. Where were the cute 17 year old girl gamers when I was 17?? )

Group 2 ranges from 27 to 55.

Group 3 (the smallest) only ranges from 36 to 43.

I DM all three groups; I'm 41.

No, we're all within a year of each other - it's what comes from starting up the gaming group during university.

Big gap in how long we've been playing, though - I'm on 18 years solid, another's on about the same on and off, and the rest started in about '98.

 

[el-remmen]

My group ranges from youngest 30 to oldest 38.

 

[MoogleEmpMog]

Yes. Early teens to early fifties.

<grumbles about binary polls...with vague terminology>

My current groups? No- probably 5 years or less.


Past groups? As much as a decade or more.

One of my groups ranges from me as the youngest (25) to about... early forties, I think. I'm not sure exactly how old our eldest member is, but he's around there.

The other one ranges from 17 at the youngest to 25. Very different dynamic, though, strangely, the younger group is the more roleplaying-oriented one.

My group runs from Juniors in high school to 40 years old (me).
In one of the campaigns my 7 year old also plays.
