Tell me about your D&D group

[Styracosaurus]

I am doing little impromptu questionnaire cross posted from here and could use your help.

Tell me:

How long has your group been playing together?

What are the ages, genders, and professions of the people in your group?

What edition are you playing?

Thanks

We started playing in 2000, so I guess eight years.

We are all 37, male: RN, Systems Analyst and a Manager of a tech group.

We play 3.5 currently, but intend to jump up to 4e once there are more splatbooks.

How long has your group been playing together?
I joined in 2000 and the group goes back at least 5-10 years previous to that. I am still the newbie of the group as there has been no change of players from then until this year when another player left due to getting a job out of state.

What are the ages, genders, and professions of the people in your group?
Male 38-40: Network Admin
Male 38-42: System Admin
Male 41-45: Level 3 Tech Support
Female 40-45: Bookkeeper
Male 42-48: Something in Banking
Male 45-50: Call Center Manager
Male 50-60: Accountant (CPA)
Male 55-65: Unknown (Something in a cubicle)

While there are lots of techies, none of us work at the same company.

What edition are you playing?
We are currently playing 3.5 (Ptolus). The group started as a HERO System group and tried 3E when it came out (This was when I joined). We continue to alternate between 3.x (We upgraded from 3E to 3.5) and HERO. Our next campaign will be HERO System. There is no interest in 4E at this moment.
