[QUOTE="mhacdebhandia, post: 4472348, member: 18832"] I have to preface my answers with a statement: I don't have a single "gaming group" the way some people do. The people I game with are drawn from among my social circle in general, people of ages varying from 20 to 30 or so. I met all of these people through university - the gaming club SUTEKH providing the venue - or through other friends of mine bringing them into my social circle. So, when I talk about the [i]D&D[/i] group with which I play now, I'm talking about a group of people put together by the DM specifically for the purpose of the [i]D&D[/i] game he's running. One of them I had only really known as a friend of the DM's before; another I had never met; one is my wife; the DM and the remaining guy have been friends of mine for about five years. Since the 10th of July, 2008. Our group consists of four men and one woman. Ages range from 26 to 30. Professionally: [list][*]Engineer working in traffic infrastructure (master's degree in traffic planning) [*]Software developer working in social networking software (PhD in computer science) [*]Manager of an EB Games videogame store [*]Unemployed (disability) [*]Artist/graphic designer/homemaker (my wife; she plans to go back to art school in the near future) [*]Random office guy working in veterinary pharmaceuticals (me; I plan to go back to university for my PhD in religious studies or anthropology within the near future)[/list] Fourth Edition [i]Dungeons & Dragons[/i]. The other regular game I play in, by contrast, is a Fourth Edition [i]GURPS[/i] game which has been running for over a year, and only shares one player with the [i]D&D[/i] game other than me; until recently, when one of the players went to MIT for his PhD, I was running a revised Third Edition [i]D&D[/i] game which converted to Fourth Edition, with my wife and three other people as players. Basically, in my social circle, there are way too many gamers for there to be any such thing as a "regular game group" that are the only people with whom you play. [/QUOTE]
