I'm currently 20 years old, and I started DMing at the tender age of 15 (?); all of my players are in ages 16-22 (we're currenlty 5 people counting myself, and we're the ONLY D&D players of the city... nope, no roleplaying shops arround here). Sometimes I feel kinda lonely with the North American community tough, since most of players and masters are arround 25-30, or even more. So, am I one of a kind?

Where I grew up, there was only my group and no shops in the area. It's pretty hard to bring up the topic with others because only a small minority of people even play.
#3 ADHadh Jan 06, 2013 19:46:55	I started out in highschool... and I don't think I've actually played much after, as my groups kept falling apart and I didn't really care for looking for a local fanbase after moving. This year it'll be 5 years since my HS graduation.
#4 Ragnar_Lodbrok Jan 06, 2013 21:31:46	Taught myself 3.5 at around twelve, so I've been playing for almost seven years. I too tend to have problems finding a decent group, though that isn't much of a problem right now.
#5 xladyfayre Jan 06, 2013 22:10:33	There was these little kids one was like 10 and the other several years younger playing it on the sidewalk. Looking back... I wonder how they did that since I don't remember much being out except the dice and the DM screen, haha.
#6 TheSalmonOfDoubt Jan 06, 2013 22:14:27	I'm in highschool now. Not telling my exact age, because my parents are pretty paranoid and would be mad if I did. Easier to just avoid that. I have a friend who's been playing 2ed (I think...) for several years. And most games I play IRL are with my little brother (12) and his friends, most of which are actually younger than him.
#7 The_Silversword Jan 06, 2013 23:41:18	Im old, but I make the kids play too.
#8 xladyfayre Jan 07, 2013 7:57:38	Im old, but I make the kids play too. I'd like to get my little sister involved but I think my mom would just freak out. She doesn't approve of it but since I'm out of the house she can't say anything. She's busy a lot with activities so I doubt it would work. We really need another person, honestly.
#9 homicidal_squirrel Jan 07, 2013 8:31:35	I don't like or play D&D any more. Say, do you know why people preserve food? Because they can! If you had your choice of one old DM or two young DMs, which would you choose? How old is old, and how young is young? And which one is hotter?

#11 mellored Jan 07, 2013 10:54:48	I'm a 16 year old girl. I love long sessions of D&D. I'm an 8th month old fetus.  I DM, but i'm not sure how much i'll be doing next month.  what?

She thinks its evil a long with Charmed and Roswell which I watched all the time when I was in high school (and I still do). She thinks a lot of video games are also evil. Its really weird because she bought my little sister the Twilight books...wtf. So, I really do not understand her reasoning at all....

"A man is only as old as the woman he feels"- Groucho Marx I was assuming the DM was female. Why would I care how old some guy is?

Wow.  I would totally advise staying very far away from that lady.  She's ... well, I'll just stop there since she is your mommy.  ;)
#15 Tevish_Szat Jan 07, 2013 15:00:27	I myself am 25 this month and the oldest of my normal playgroup.  My typical players are 24, 18, and 17.  I started playing D&D with a peer group (all the same school grade) in 2002 and DMing two years later @xladyfayre: Some folks are hostile to religion in general, an attitude that is quite prevelant in Speculative Fiction (SF/Fantasy) Communities such as this one.  The reasons why are many, varried, and not open for discussion on these forums.

Just wondering if I'm above or below 18 is fair enough. So the first question was pretty innocent. But the second one gave you away... Don't judge me.

#26 SadClownIsSad Jan 11, 2013 14:10:22	The Young family lives next door to mine, I believe at least 2 of them play D&D.
