Based on the few intro's I read, I may be the new "old guy" - some may call me ancient... others call me "Tim"

As I've started collecting another subject matter (Franklin Mint Armour) - gasp; I was excited to find this as I kept all my D&D stuff from 76'. As I get up to speed on just what I have - a few 1st print supplements I'll make them available.

Sorry - My White Box is only 4th Print. I didn't even know of the existence of woody's until reading here...

It's been a great trip revisiting all this great material and the memories they brought.

Purchased my own D&D material (1976) when $5, $10, & $15 were huge amounts for a 10 yr old...

At 46, you're barely out of diapers around here

Thank You! That's what I think - but I saw many 20 and 30 somethings here....

But they were posts from 20-30 years ago.

Welcome to the Acaeum; Tim/Lloyd/Ancient

I know many here who are quite a bit older, including myself (51).

This is the reason I like The Acaeum.
You can actually carry on a conversation without getting flamed for every post.
And while it is officially a site for collectors, there's enough "tribal knowledge" among these folks to answer any D&D, RPG, or wargaming question you can possibly imagine.

Given your golden-era collection, I think you'll enjoy it here.

I'm 47 yrs-old, btw.

Welcome

Excellent point - I failed to realize when reviewing the posts many of the young ones were posts from several years back...

I'm glad to be a part of the average in this case!

All but one of the players in my gaming group is 40-something. The one who isn't is my eldest son.

Welcome Lloyd,

I just joined this Forum recently, too. It's the best forum I have ever participated in. I'm 44 and have been humbled by all of the knowledge the other members have and how supportive and friendly everyone is. It's a great experience and good to have you part of it.

Take Care,

Chris
