How long have you been gaming?
What was your first tabletop, larp, or computer game involving rp?

30+ years, DnD 1st addition, when small box sets were the thing to have.

Been gaming since I was around three years old-- first games I can remember were Sonic 2 and Chakan: The Forever Man on the Genesis.
My first introduction to RP was also my introduction to MUDs, when my older brother got me hooked on Age of Legends, some "rp enforced" Dragonlance MUD around 1997.
Made the jump to Armageddon a few years later when I got tired of being up to my armpits in Darkpast McEdgelord.

Sorry for the tangent/ramble but I love talking about anything remotely related to this.
I've been gaming for as long as I can remember too Prime. 20+ years. First games I remember are a couple on the Amiga - climbing a cliff with snakes and a green spaceship with cover. Childhood favorites were Kings Quest, Space Quest, LodeRunner, StarControl 2, and Ultima VII.
Oh Ultima VII.
I was too young to properly play that game. My older brother was so pissed when I loaded then saved his game. "Everyone is dying! They're getting attacked by invisible people! I tried dropping the ring of invisibility, but they keep getting attacked!"
The party had all been starving to death - an invisible foe indeed.
I grew up on a lot of more RP-oriented games that are singleplayer. Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Deus Ex.
The first multiplayer RP game I can think of was an RP Rubies of Eventide server in 6th/7th grade. It was pretty light-hearted, but I think folks generally stayed in character. Sure, I had played MUDs with emoting, but people staying in character was new to me.
My much older brother introduced me to Arm while he was away at college. I'm not sure if that would have been 8th grade of my freshman year of highschool. It's the first RPI game I've ever played. I'd go to the library after school to play with him... good times.
Nowadays I have 400+ games in my library. I'm unsure as to whether I've played most of them, but I haven't played many anyways. I kinda want to have a kid just so I can enjoy him going through my games. When I was little, I would go directory by directory and try to execute every file on the ol' DOS machine. I found a lot of games that I wasn't supposed to be playing, packaged demos and other. The creepy ass candy shop with the imprisoned Santa is the worst that I can remember.

I grew up on the nerdiest street in America. My neighbors were five other boys (two sets of brothers, and one other) who lived to either side of me, and one right behind me. The oldest one was 4 years older than me (also the nerdiest), and the youngest was only 2 years younger.
Well. If you take six kids and put em together like that in the early 90s, you're either going to get a gang, or a bunch've D&D players.
We even did Warhammer. And we all got into muds and online games at the same time.
This was because when we were young, like 9-10, we thought the 13-14 year old one was super cool. So we all ended up liking what he liked, which turned out to be RPGs and paintball (the nerdiest sport). If he'd been into cars and chicks, I'm sure all of our lives would've taken a different turn.
