Well...
Two votes and it's pegged at 36-40.
I'll be 36 in July, so I put myself in the more "mature" bracket.
Dave, get the barbarian in the corner a drink, quick!

As much as it pains me to say, I'm 40. But I'm happy to be in the 36-40 category. 41-45 sounds too old.

I voted 31-35, even though I am only 30. I will be 31 this year though.

I turn 38 on Friday... official move from mid to late-thirties.
Looks like 35/36 will end up the average... would have expected more 40+ members. Or perhaps its just that noone (apart from Robotico) will admit to it?
Regards
Mike

i am 37 in december, first played when i was 11, and my character was killed by a White Dragon.
can anyone remember the name of their first character? having never played before, i was unsure how the names all got thought up (duh!)...so i found a program at the time on the computer: ZX81, which randomized fantasy character names for you - the first one it came up with was "Borka the Jop" and thats what i used. i was devastated when he died...but hey thats the name of the game!
Are we nearly there yet?

We didn't even give our characters names because we would usually only play once with them. We didn't start continuing campaigns until 76 or 77.
