Two at 28ish

One is a relative and the other an apprentice who got dragged into a game by his boss and stuck at it.

Style
It very much depends on which of the oldies is DM'ing. One is fond of high magic, fast level increase based on monster killing, all the expansion sets, and an ever increasing set of kills. Some dice rolling required. The other two are more story led slow progression, low magic, own worlds, simple monsters and lots of roleplaying and puzzle solving, experience gained based not on killing things but on sttory progression.

But it doesn't matter who is DM'ing it tends to be roleplayed in character, to the exclusion of the game sometimes.

Example
The Paladin and the Cleric got into an actual argument on the creation of the world. They were arguing properly to the extent that they missed the appearance of some monster or other and took no part in the ensueing combat, finishing the argument with an agreement to differ.

Ace fun and completely in character.

Two groups. One that I DM, and another I play in. Four of us are involved in both.

So let's see. We range in age from 26 to 50. Across the two groups we have seven people. Of those 5 are librarians, one is a professor and another is an actor.
 

My group:

A thirty-two year old male IT professional at a local hospital. Playing a merc fighter.

A twenty year old single male Digital Media: Computing for Media student at the University of Central Florida. Playing Rautho, a barbarian courtier.

A twenty year old single male Computer Science student at UCF. Playing a halfling rebel sorcerer.

A twenty-one year old female w/ long distance boyfriend service industry worker. She is playing an elven exotic dancer rogue.

A twenty five year male single old eighth grade science teacher. He is playing a human telepath.

Last is me. A twenty-three year old male comptuer science major at UCF. I have a long distance girlfriend. (Kelcey whoo!) and am the GM. :)

We are having our first game of our Shelzar-based Scarred Lands campaign tommorow. I have played with each of them at different times but not all of them have played games together.

The campaign was going to be a mix of undercity dungeon crawling and political intrigue, but half the group made characters worthless in dungoncrawling so it looks like it will lean more towards urban adventure and intrigue. ;)

It should be fun though. :)
 

Hmmm...

Right now our group is deep into a CoC campaign, though we've tackled some one-off Star Wars D6 lately, and have a 2E campaign on hold until a player returns from an extended leave of absence.

Me\Trent Waters - DM of everything but CoC; 22, been gaming since I was 10; a variety of games over the years. Part-time student and full-time Computer Technician.

Bishop Struthers - new to roleplaying, 24, part-time retail employee, part-time student

Francine - new to roleplaying, 23, part-time retail employee, just graduated university.

Ron Thomas Jr. - played some DnD and CoC over the past few years. 23. full-time student in Radio & Television Arts.

The DM - my brother, 28, married with child. Been gaming for closer to 15 years or so now. Until recently, comic and game store owner...forced by bills to close down unfortunately.

Our guest stars range from another brother, to a wife, and a friend who's away on a biochemistry co-op in Montreal right now.
 

I'd the youngest of the group at but we are all late 20's early 30's. Some work, some don't. Nothing excting about us there.

As the new guy to the group I'm not sure what we have. One guy seems to be a power gamer, although he's been potty good about it. We have the "I play ego driven Wizards" and "I make up guys from the other Continent". I'm not sure on the others, but I'd be really interested (and a little scared) about what they would say about me. :D
