I usually base my characters' age, if anyone actually cares when I'm playing which they don't seem to, on our starting level.

My last character was around 100 (going on 17 by maturity of actions) - a half-faerie dragon.

I'm 34.

My most recently played D&D PC is about 15 years old.

42.

I usually play drow characters whose age tends to be in the 100s. Mentally, they're probably in the 30 - 40 (I really need to do something with my life) bracket.

Nb: Using the Wooly Rule I'm only 31.

Half faerie dragon and half human?

In any event, that sound slike a lot of fun.

Oh, and I just thought I'd mention how much I liked your 'Evil Seeps In' (something close to that) story.

Belated happy birthday, Markustay.

36 going on 16 for the most part here.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup.

I turned 23 in August :) I'm currently in college, and would have probably gradutated by now if I hadn't taken a couple terms off my junior year (finding out you have fibromyalgia sucks).

I'm younger than the Forgotten Realms setting, and that's the only clue I'm giving.

I tend to play characters within the 26-33 range preferably, or their racial equivalent. Though I've played characters as young as 15, as well as some old relics. I've got a severe case of alt-itis.

Thanks, Xnella! If not for my 'job,' (or family business) I would have felt still 21. Oh, well, we do what we must.

I'm 25. So barely in the lower adult category.

Currently between games.

It could be useful for WotC to know the ages of the bulk of their Realms fans.

In my experience, most people under 18 don't buy the setting books.
