Hi, I'm 41, live in Newcastle in England and have been roleplaying since the mid-80's.
I started with 1e AD&D, Maelstrom, Dragonquest and Dragon Warriors, then bought loads of shiny new games in the 90s that I never played, leading me to turn to short free rules-lite RPGs for a while. I arrived back at Holmes D&D, then Swords & Wizardry.
I like the LOTFP blog and bought Death Frost Doom - pure class.
Good luck Jim, keep at it !
