If Wikipedia's correct, he'll be 69 by the end of July.

Its a true shame that new players were few and far between when S&S brought out there new stuff. However all it takes is a Ravenloft GM to buy the books and expose his players to it.

What I'm interested in is just how many of us have advanced degrees. Only something like 5% of the general populace gets advanced degrees, but it seems like it's over half of us, here. I'd even wager that compared to other RPG gamers in general, we'd skew educated. (That's just a guess, though. Not good scientific rigor by itself. Needs testing.)

Myself, I've got a Master's in engineering (never quite finished the Ph.D.) and I'll be finishing my MBA this year. I'm 32.

I don't know if anybody has noticed it, but simple age ranges would work better - not every country's education system is separated in exactly the same way.

I'm 23.5, and I'm doing an MSc (after a MRes and 4 years of pregrad)

So you're of an age of a post graduate Talryn...

I'm 27, with college degrees attained at 21, 24, and (projected) 29 respectively.

As there are a lot of graduates out there, perhaps we should have another poll - what subject did you study (were supposed to be studying) at college?

The stereotype is that roleplayers are computer/engeneering types. But we seem to have quite a few zoologists (me included, although my research field is now humanities-related these days).

It kind of looks like I am one of the few people here who stopped his education after High School!

Just turned 27 last week and will be graduating with a Bachelor's in Design which allows me to make pretty pictures with the sun in corner!
Seriously though, I was getting the "I'm Old Blues" until I read this thread. Hooray for me!

Add me to that list, I received my B.S. in Biology back in '82 from UNH, and have been working in the same commercial petfood industry R&D field ever since as a senior scientist/supervisor. I do admit to being the office 'go-to' guy when there are computer issues...
