I'm 34, and I have played Moldvay /Cook Basic D&D off and on for about half my life. I own a mound o' stuff for AD&D in both editions, although 2E is the one I actually played a lot. I'm currently running a 'Black Box edition' Classic D&D campaign.

IME, D&D in various editions has been the common, shared gaming experience for nearly all the RPGers in my life. Even non-gamers I know have heard of D&D, but most of them ask 'what is a gurp?' when they see my wife's 'Dummy's Guide to GURPS' book on the shelf.


Of course, my experinece may vary greatly from Jeff's experiences.
