So, since my gameing experiance has been rather limited (which is funny considering that I have written for Dragon and other published game material) I'm interested in knowing about your group.Who do you play with? Ages, gender, education, etc.Why do stay with that group?How does the group dynamic change game play in your case></blockquote>
