The Age Poll

[Elvis in Combat]

OK, since yet another topic moved warp speed away from it's intent, I figured I'd make up a poll related to that digression.

So, for your enjoyment...The AGE POLL!

To kick it off:

Age: 37
Occupation: Senior Network & Security Admin

I'm an older player with more money than time to spend on SST!

 

[Mr Evil]

well im 32 (i think)

And Im a miniature pimp, i sell second hand game modles on ebay !

i also do any manual work that comes my way to keep fit (better than the gym and pays you)

i started gaming when the first plastic marines where released !!! 1988/89 i think, befor that i did a few other games but not serously.

As I rise from my rejuvenation chamber I note that I am still 59, still an SF fanatic and still a wargamer. Age does not weary us...it just makes us more cantankerous. Oh, and we sometimes fall asleep if the games go on too long.

 

[Gossard]

I'm 23, been a gamer since 10.

I'm in the editorial business and am a recent surviving escapee from GW

 

[Greg Smith]

[Koloth]

36 Years Old. However both my sons play 11 & 9. Also one of my daughters plays age 7 (Still working on the 5 year old).

[Humakt]

37. Hooked on these games (RPGs, then minis) for 26/27 of those years.

Currently 'between jobs' after redundancy, making a few £s here and there via e-bay and painting other people's minis.

Hi!

I just joined this board, and saw this topic, so I thought I'd chime in:

I'm 44 (yeah, yeah, I know) and live in Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC.

Computer programmer currently contracting for the (US) Federal government.

I've been playing RPGs since 1976 (original DnD), miniature gaming for about 4 years.

I'm looking forward to playing SST, I just need to decide what to paint first: MI, Bugs, MI, bugs...

 

[hassanisabbah]

33.5 I do stuff for a living... stuff with computers. But I don't do computers... oh no, not IT.

So I am a sterotype. Overweight, single, male into RPGs and Miniatures (actually I'm more into painting them), comics. Infact just about anything with words printed on it is what I'm into. Reading or writing, or just thinking about reading or writing. But especially reading.

When my ex-girlfriend was at uni, I'd read 90% of her literature reading list.... :twisted:
