So how long have YOU been playing D&D?

[MoogleEmpMog]

Some time in the mid-late '80s, but I don't remember the exact time and place.

I started in 1978 with the Holmes "blue book" basic set.

The same, thereabouts. I picked it up about the same time as I picked up the white boxed set of the original rules, and eventuallly the supplements. Never used the white box, I graduallly moved to AD&D as they released the book (the Monster Manual was all that was out when I started.

Its Going on 26 years now, I started with the AD&D PHB and I have been gaming ever since.

My first PC is just now old enough to vote. o.0

 

[Terwox]

...wow, I'm the newest. Summer of 1999, right after I got out of high school.

Never had an opportunity until then because my parents thought it was of the devil... once I was 18 they let me make my own mind up about it though. Which was nice. I did convince them otherwise, and my younger brother and I can play with no fear of hellfire.

Late 2000, early 2001.

I is a n00b.

 

[Hammerhead]

Since 1996, I'd say.

I first got into D&D in late 1990, though I never really got the chance to play it for a few years after that.

 

[Agamon]

Spring, 1984. I was a 3rd grader DMing for 4th and 5th graders (Moldvay Basic, Keep of the Borderlands). It went fairly well considering I'd never played before. Been fairly exclusively a DM ever since.

Quickly graduated to AD&D, and have more or less stuck with gaming ever since.

I know there are others here who've been playing longer than I have. I got started with my cousin during Christmas break of 1975 and have been playing near continuously since summer of '76. Didn't start DMing until summer of '80.

not fair i wasnt even an itch in my daddys pants then

was only born in 77'. got the basic red box for my 10th birthday and been playing ever since. for the past 10 going on 11 years with the same group who are pretty much my best friends. we played through the army together, by email when travelling, on after wedding parties ... and latly even while babysitting for the first born in our group.
