You know it wouldn't surprise me a bit! If you were playing Table Top in 1985 at the age of 55 (perfectly reasonable), you'd be 82 now.

We had a 40something guy in our group when I was actively playing TT in the late 80s. It was nice to have a guy in the group with a job and a house and more importantly, a basement with an awesome Table set up! And his wife even made us snacks and stuff!

in the basement you say, awww did they touch you?

There was an old age poll over at Mektek, I tried hard to find it but can't. But, seems like the majority was over 30, while almost half here are 30 or under. There certainly weren't almost 30% under 25 as there are here (based on the poll). But I'm happy that there is a diverse group...young and old from different generations...this gonna be fun!

The first Battletech book I ever read was Decision at Thunder Rift and it was my brother that lent it to me to tease me with a taste. After that I played Mechwarrior 3 and Mechcommander for the PC. I played Mechwarrior 2 for the Playstation. I have over a dozen Mechwarrior Books. And while I never played the Table tops I watched tons of Table top games on Youtube. So..I FREAKING LOVE MECHWARRIOR.

Old enough to have Piloted a "Mackie" when they were newest and biggest...

[Reyge]

Too old to answer that question, too young to miss passing-up on the chance to be a complete @sshole about it!
