Jonathan, early fourties. I first played D&D in 1999, just before 3e came out. We played AD&D and I was really excited for the new version. I bought it, planned an adventure and ran my first game using that system. We all had a great time, but stuck with AD&D until the group disbanded. I wanted to keep playing, but couldn't find a group so I ran 3e again. Here it is, 3 versions later and it's the same story. I've been running games ever since and have to say, I'm a master. But I REALLY want to start playing again.
