Guess I'm here to hold the average at 31 years of age. Like alot of readers I've noticed, the red box set got me started as well. Long Live D&D !


Cheers to Paizo, Eric, and all the team of tinkers it takes to make this mag rock! I haven't played D&D in the true form since Adanced about '92. When 2nd ed. came out I dropped out. Figured I couldn't afford it. That and monsters came in packs to be put in a binder how stupid I thought to myself back then. Which brings me to the present. Many years later with wife, 5 yr old girl, and 7 mo. boy I find my old red box set. This sets the spark for me to decide I want D&D as a creative influence in my family's life that I never had until teen years. After a little on-line research I see how much has changed seems simpler and better with more support. Boy oh boy was I right thanks to your mag. I've been back on the roller coaster of a hobbie I forgot I loved. All new 3rd. core books in tow along with minatures guide I was ready for adventure.
But then I was stuck what campaign setting to choose? I stewed about this till I bought issue #124 AOW. Thanks from the bottom of my soul! I haven't missed an issue yet keep up the fantastic work you do! I'll subscribe sooner or later, but
right now I'm filling a binder full of cards and organizing my minis cabinet. lol I love the irony of it all !
Thanks Again Castleman


Back in '87 a friend showed me the red box set, and from the looks of this thread it must of been popular! My first character was Taron (half-elf ranger) which later conquered the Isle of Dread. He then with parties help built a fortress in the trees. Much like the Ewoks! lol I guess back then we never thought of sailing back to the mainland. I think the reason why was because archery and hunting were big in my family and it just related to me easy to play. That and the younger guy just had to be the wizard!
