    I played AD&D up to 3rd but I quit playing PnP around 2003. Friends graduated school and I went into the Army.

    Been playing since the 80's here. It's not D&D but Dungeon Master on my Atari ST was the first RPG I ever played and have loved the genre ever since.

    I played a little in the 80's, but was forced to quit when it was banned for being satanic. Didn't really get into it again until a few years ago and 4e.

    Me too, maybe a few years after you though. I started in '77 with original D&D and Blackmoor (which I still have). Veteran of Tunnels and Trolls and Bunnies and Burrrows too.

    Been playing since it was released in the 70's. I stopped playing PnP D&D a few years ago due to lack of people to play with, but still read up on it, and check out all of the new rules. Not a big fan of the 4E rules. I guess I'm still old-schoool and prefer the AD&D rules.

    Played all of the official D&D PC games, and many non-official.

    I still have my Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Players Handbook from 1978 when I started playing. I guess that makes me Old School--not to mention, I am 54...lol

    started playing dnd in 1986. Love the game. I have been playing dnd computer games since the first one they ever put out, Pool of Radiance. Then there was champions of Krynn, secret of the silver blades, and a bunch of others. Those games were awesome back in the day, and I hope that this game lives up to what ive heard about it.

    Man, I remember those days. My father used to complain about me playing it because of all of the claims of it being satanic, and kids committing suicide over it. What a silly world it was then.

    Thank God the 90's came along, the 80's were just crazy.

    PnP I started with 3.0, but have been reading/playing AD&D books/games since before then. :)

    I played when Dwarf was a class. And got excited when the blue box came out.

    Never really "played" PnP. Had a few of the box sets in my house as a kid, I looked through the manuals, played with the pewter figures, and drew maps on graph paper, but then I got a VIC-20 and started playing video games instead. Dunno if that counts. First time I ever really got into D&D gameplay was Baldur's Gate.

    Ever wonder why D&D started out as pen and paper? Personal computers DID NOT EXIST YET. ~AHEM~

    Original D&D (version 1.0) <--- P&P D&D since 1976-ish. Yes, even before the Saturday morning *cartoon*.

    ~cough~
