Just a general question to throw out there- how old are you? I’m curious as to what the average user age is here.

I’m 25, myself, and based on conversations and information gleaned from profiles, I feel like I’m probably one of the younger members. That may not be true, though, hence this thread.

So, satisfy my curiosity and let us know how old you are!

26, as of today.

Happy birthday to me! Hooray!

I was born in 1957 makes me 51.

Happy birthday, Jason! And I will turn 33 this May.

Happy Birthday!

I’m 24, making me the youngest thus far!

I think AidanDark may have you beat.

Also, Happy Birthday to Jason.

I’m 24.

Also, happy birthday Jason

36. No longer in the coveted “male 18-to-34” demographic, which is apparently fine with me.

I think AidanDark may have you beat.

He might, but I said, thus far. And thus far AidanDark hasn’t posted his age.

Of course, darkliquid is also 24 so I’m already sharing the bottom of the age barrel and I’m totally ready to eat my words when the 14-18 demographic starts posting. And in case you don’t think that age range is prevalent on this site, my buddy is on this site (kirksimo) and he’s 15.

Just turned 30, but it doesn’t feel like it.

P-eater, did you have a thing for She-Ra?

P-eater, did you have a thing for She-Ra?

No, actually. My sister spent most of her early childhood trying to be her, though, and only recently it’s sort of come back up as a weird little inside joke between she, a few mutual friends, and myself.

Would you believe I already have that video favorited?

Aw, shucks, thanks all!

But I had a thing for She-Ra.

I’m 22 and I’m several months younger than Aidan ;)

At the peak of its popularity, He-man had a huge following. A mild, “Clark Kent-ish” alter ego who transforms into a fair-handed yet beastly man who is in-turn named for the masculine attributes that he possesses. She-ra came on the scene slightly later in an attempt to appeal to a larger demographic. As the twin sister of He-man she also has the ability to transform into a super-hero. These two gender based shows are questionably sexist yet offered something for both boys and girls. He-man received the “Power” of Greyskull while She-ra was imbued with the “Honor” of Greyskull. Most likely this was an attempt to appeal to the female audience who might be turned-off by the masculine aspect of He-man’s “Power” and differentiated it by giving her something different which allows She-ra to retain her femininity. But this brings me to my point… As roleplayers who have the opportunity, as a DM or a cross-gendered-player, we get to explore the differences between the sexes by way of personality and in-game mechanics. No doubt, most players would offer that given the same starting stats a female character is equal to a male character yet there is still this idea, shared by some sources, that the female hero’s “Power” is slightly different than that of a male hero. I , for one, say that She-ra would lose nothing if she were to be imbued with the “Power” of greyskull as opposed to its “Honor” and in the same way He-man must have posses all aspects of Greyskull including its “Power”, “Honor”, and possibly a little bit of “Sparkle” as well.

The number of absolutely wrong He-Man parodies I just found thanks to your link, eleusis….sigh

And I’ll tattle on Florimel, since I know he’ll never read the forums and find out it was me. He’s in his mid-40’s. I think he turns 47 this June. I know he’s been running games since 1974.

I’m 23 very long years old, if the gray hairs are any indication.

Almost on the same note, a cashier at the grocery store told me today that I looked like I was 35 ;x Thats not as bad as my mom telling me I have a receding hairline on my 22nd birthday =/

Thats not as bad as my mom telling me I have a receding hairline on my 22nd birthday =/

And that’s not as bad as having a receding hairline (without having to be told) after your 17th birthday, either. Take it from someone who knows.

Being bald, prematurely or otherwise, is not a big deal, though, and to hell with anyone who thinks it is!

Besides, the hairs I have left will be gray soon enough.

I’m only 24 and my girlfriend found a gray hair yesterday. I’m excited, I think gray looks dignified and I know that I need all the dignity I can get.

Good for you, Rob! I like to see a few gray hairs on a man. I’m 28, btw.

I’m 31 and have no gray hairs. I’m positive. I layered them all with a chemical and now they’re pretty and red again. :D

And a slight correction on the She-Ra stuff… She was Adam’s cousin, not twin sister. God help me for knowing that. :D

Nearly 23 at this point in my career.

38 this year.

I’m almost three and half. In Elf years that is:

So you’re…. 33?
