Never had the game as a kid. I only played it through ages 10-14 at a friend's house who always played Morcar and cheated our asses blind!
He claimed to have lost the rulebook, and we never got to read it.
Anyway I got the game 2 years ago on ebay, and introduced my new friends to it and they liked it. I'm now 26 years old.

I thought I should post a photo of me, I did a little bit of graverobbing last weekend and couldn't pass the opportunity to take a necromancer photo with an actual human skull. Check it out:

Well I don't think I can top tasoe's post... I, like several people already, am 35 and was introduced to the game in the early 90s by some school friends.

I got back into the game recently as I bought a copy intending to play with my kids. They're 5 and 3 so still a bit young but I'm busy painting the figures to be ready.

Wow. A real skull - that's cool.

Proven through extreme lengths... (backs away slowly..)

Much like Ethica, I bought mine when I was 11, now 35. Used the Elf and Barbarian in Warhammer Quest later on also.

Heh, it was not actually graverobbing as you can imagine. The skulls and bones were in those cases seen behind me in the photo.
We just took the pictures and put them back! Not very necromancer-like, but we didn't want to defile them any further.

Have a look ;)

It's always strange to suddenly see pictures of people you only know through chat or forums. Even knowing your ages seems strange to me.
I dunno... I kinda just imagine you guys as your avatars.
