Well, people love to talk about themselves, I guess.
1. How long have you been gaming? Um...23 years now. On and off.
2. First game system you played? Technically the red box, but really got into 2nd edition with my first full-on group.
3. What are your 3 favorite systems? Pathfinder. Just Pathfinder.
4. Fate of your first character? Lakida Theras was last seen dragging dead companions from a dungeon somewhere in Faerun. (She'd strung them together with a rope because she could drag the party a lot quicker than trying to carry them all, even with an 18/76 strength.)
5. Do you still game with any of your original group? No...they live out of state and we grew apart anyway. I've just stopped gaming with my original Pathfinder group because of the breakup, and because my life finally stabilized in other areas. So I might be joining my second full-on Pathfinder group.
And finally why do you visit these forums? Why else...other than to be a sarcastic, slightly self-important, semi-insecure windbag? ;)

I guess you don't GM much? :P
1. How long have you been gaming: Since 1992
2. First game system you played: D&D Rules Cyclopedia
3. What are your 3 favorite systems: D&D/PF, Rifts, Mutants and Masterminds
4. Fate of your first character: Lichdom.
5. Do you still game with any of your original group: Nope/
And finally why do you visit these forums: To pass the time. Occasionally to poke the community with a question that myself and/or the group I'm with has about the rules.
-S
1. Sporadically since 1985; regularly since 1999.
2. D&D Basic (Red Box).
3. Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Mutants & Masterminds (any edition).
4. Ignominious death by spiked pit trap...
5. None of the kids I played with in the eighties, no. My group has been mostly intact since '99 though!
6. It's a good place to steal, er, borrow campaign ideas or clarify vague rules.
Hi all just a quick survey about the type of gamers who are on this forum

4. Fate of your first character
5. Do you still game with any of your original group

Thanks all
1. Just over 10 years.
2. D&D 3.0
3. D&D 3.5, Pathfinder, Ars Magica. I haven't really played many other systems, but I'd like to try World of Darkness or Scion some time.
4. My first character was played during a quick one-off scenario a workmate ran for me and another employee during a convention. In the final encounter, the character succeeded at somehow bluffing its way past a monstrous guardian (a 20 on the die helped), with the other PC's unconscious body across his shoulders (a failure would have led to dual deaths, most likely). Good times all around :)
5. No; we live in three different countries, and no longer work for the same company, so we haven't been able to play again. I was part of a more regular group from around 8 years ago until about 2 years ago, but the group more-or-less disbanded once family and work began taking up too much time for most/all of us.
6. Mainly to participate in play-by-post, but I also like to keep up with other happenings within the community.

1.- 17-18 years. Started in 1996.
2.- AD&D 2e
3.- d20 (a mix of 3.5 and Pathfinder elements), 7th Sea, Ars Magica 5e. AD&D 2e still is my nostalgia favourite, though, but my players never let me DM it (save for one guy, they really dislike that system. Ungrateful bastards).
4.- Gnome Illusionist killed by zombies and werewolves after opening a cursed sarcophagus. He was the last member of the party to go down, though, so that's something.
5.- More or less, yes. Of the original five-player group, two left about 10 years ago (they still show up for occasional one-shots and boardgames, though); the other three are still part of the group. Three new players joined over the course of the last decade (one in 2002, one in 2007 and one in 2009).
6.- I think I originally joined to check on some converted material, and eventually it became part of my daily routine.
1. Since mid-80s.
2. Red-box D&D.
3. Uhm. I'm not really a "favourite system" kinda guy, but if I would have to pick something: old World of Darkness, Dark Heresy and Edge of the Empire.
4. The very first character I played was a little thief that went by the name Usiel. He was largely based on a miniature of a little sneaky-looking guy armed with a reinforced club. As for what happened to him (or the mini, for that matter), I have no idea.
5. No.
6. To kill time and maybe browse an interesting discussion now and again.
If you guys continue to make me the oldest gamer out here by nearly a decade I'm going to get depressed... though I could claim that I started my first 'regular' game in 1976 just to save a couple years' face. (First game was when my best friend's father introduced us to a 'brand new kind of game'. Started a campaign two years later...)
I think it's really cool to interact with someone who's been playing longer than I've been alive. Heck, my mother was 16 when you started playing!

1. Since the late 80s.

3. What are your 3 favorite systems: Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu (or any BRP/RQ derivative), Marvel Super Heroes (TSR's 1980s 'FASERIP' system). I really want to give BECMI D&D the 'honorable mention' here as it is hard to choose between those four.

5. Do you still game with any of your original group: No, I wouldn't even know how to contact any of them nowadays.

2. First game system you played: D&D 3.0
3. What are your 3 favorite systems: This actually needs two lists for me, as I differentiate between games that I want to play a full campaign of, and games that I use for oneshots (beer and pretzel games).
Long term games: Pathfinder, Shadowrun, World of Darkness
Short term games: Hollowpoint, Fiasco, Dread
4. Fate of your first character: He retired when I started running games as the original group split into a few groups for various reasons.
5. Do you still game with any of your original group: Until recently, yeah, I was playing with one of the guys from my original group. We've been friends since our first year of high school. Unfortunately he moved away a few months ago to go back to university, so he's no longer playing with us.
6. Why do you visit these forums: To chat about the game, and life in general, with people I know will share some of my interests. Also to keep up with what's happening with the game.

1. How long have you been gaming: Since Christmas 1995.
2. First game system you played: AD&D 2e. Specifically, the Introduction to Dungeons & Dragons boxed set with the giant red dragon on the cover.
3. What are your 3 favorite systems: Fate, Apocalypse World Engine, and probably Old World of Darkness for nostalgia purposes.
4. Fate of your first character: Retired, as the campaign basically trailed off with no ending.
5. Do you still game with any of your original group: Depends on how generous you want to be with the term "original group." I first started playing with one or two other guys, mostly playing solo adventures with them, and I don't play with any of those people anymore, as we've all split up and moved to different states. I do still play with one guy I gamed with in high school, despite the fact that we no longer live in that state.
6. Why do you visit these forums: I like the community and enjoy seeing what's going on with the most popular RPG out there, even though my gaming tastes tend toward different things.

1. Since the late 80s. Don't remember the exact year.
2. BECMI D&D
3. Swords & Wizardry, Call of Cthulhu, and BESM.
4. God, I don't really remember. When I first started playing I made up a ton of characters....only maybe a quarter of them actually ever saw play. I think they mostly eventually died, so he probably died.
5. Nope, been moved around way too much for that.
6. Decent discussion, plus you can actually find discussions about other game systems here as well.
1. How long have you been gaming? Including CCGs, 1st grade, which would be... I want to say 1999. I didn't started tabletop until highschool, but that only lasted about a year. College was when I REALLY got into it.
2. First game system you played 3.0 DnD.
3. What are your 3 favorite systems? Pathfinder/d20 OGL, Cthulu, and a friends homebrew system called N0C. It wasn't a hard choice because those are really the only ones I've played (since PF is basically 3.0+).
4. Fate of your first character? A half-elf bard that managed to survive an encounter with a red dragon without breaking any limbs, which is better than I can say for the ranger, who broke both arms and a leg.
5. Do you still game with any of your original group? No. I don't really even talk to any of them. In high school they were basically my "placebros". Once I got to senior year, and then to college, I started meeting people that I had a lot more in common with and I realized I only hung out with the placebros because I didn't have anyone else to, although, sometimes I feel like getting back in touch with one of them in particular.
And finally why do you visit these forums Because if I talked [i]at[/i[ my friend about PF as much as I wanted to they would tell me to shut up xD They like playing, sure, but I... REALLY like playing haha.

1. Since 2005/6 high school group ran by my technology teacher.
2. 3.53. Pathfinder, CuthuluTech, 3.5
4. Greatsword wielding fighter named Karas campaign was abandoned so...Lost to the sands of time
5. No
6. Obsession? Also play by posts. This is gaming group now.
1. 26 years? That would make me 6 years old at the time. Tough to say exactly, because I didn't have a fully formed consciousness. Six is what I've been told. Due to my older brothers, D&D was basically my version of "make believe".
2. I want to say the Red Box D&D, because it's the first one I remember seeing.
3. Burning Wheel, Shadowrun 3e, Pathfinder
4. "Dude the Druid?" All I remember is he wildshaped into a T rex and fought another T rex. It was formative.
5. Brothers, yes. One of them only rarely, but the other weekly. And we all still game a lot.
6. I showed up when I first read that Paizo was keeping the OGL going after 4e was announced. I... don't know why I'm still here. Nobody's ever asked. Why AM I here?
EDIT: Probably because they're still going with the OGL! So maybe, if they ever scrap it (or the spirit of it), I will leave....
