Filled it out, happy to help!

Another old timer who had to put 20. Hope our answers lead to some interesting findings!

 

[Maxperson]

Alright. Another 20+ DM/Player contribution for you.

Next time maybe I need a bigger slide

Yeah. This particular site skews very high on years played/DM'd.

The "Roughly how many years in total have you played tabletop RPGs in your life" slider only goes up to 20. I'm at 46, aged 64.

Definitely; 43 and 62 here. I was late to the party.

Yeah. EN World probably skews older than the gaming population as a whole. I think I've been playing for 43 years, or something like that. When the actual effective range is over twice as broad as your available selection, you're apt to get a big stack in that last bucket, unable to differentiate them.

Overall, you will have the problem that EN World is not representative of RPG players in more than just age, and self-selecting participants is ugly for study statistics.

Very true . What works for me here is I can learn about patterns in different types of experienced RPG-ers, so this is still very useful even if the length of experience factor itself is hard to interpret (given the massive experience here). So still very grateful for every response , and I'm looking forward to learning about (and sharing) results when I can. There's definitely not enough research being done here. Experiment 2 will build on this experience...
