[Jorunkun]

How long has your group been playing together?
The core five players have been playing since 1985, so 23 years.

What are the ages, genders, and professions of the people in your group?
All male, all 38 or 39 years old. Two work in IT, two are teachers, one works in social services.

What edition are you playing?
Upgraded faithfully from red box to AD&D, 2nd Ed. to 3.5; with campaigns running for many years. Playtested 4e, but no plans to switch anytime soon.

--------
Must say I'm quite surprised that there are so many players well past their teens. At 30something, it seems one is well within in the middle age-bracket of players - whudathunk? But then ENWorld probably has a built-in bias, right?

Only live group at the moment is my family. I've been playing with my kids for about six years. Our ages are 35, 37, 12, 11, 9 and 8. Currently we are using 3e and the Pathfinder Beta rules and expect to stick with Pathfinder for a while.

Am also playing in 6 PbP at the moment and all 6 use either 3.5 or Pathfinder.

[Papa-DRB]

I am doing little impromptu questionnaire.

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?

How long: Since 1990. At that time it was two groups. 1) My son and his friends as teenagers, and 2) my adult friends. I merged the groups after dropouts around 2000.

Gender: All male,
DM (ie. me) 61 - Mainframe CICS support
Players:
54 - Mainframe VTAM support
49 - Mainframe MVS developer
35 - Web developer
35 - Report writer (Excel and VB)
35 - IT support at local University
33 - Electrician

Edition: Pathfinder RPG Beta rules and will continue after they become final. As an FYI, this is a "I'm too old and grumpy to learn a new system (4E) and I'm the DM, so we do it my way" and "We don't want to spend more money when we have all these 3.5 books and adventures still to play". It is not a "hate 4E" reason.
