Well, here it is, the opportunity to date yourself and let everyone know how long you've been into Lone Wolf/Grey Star in a way that will actually show a demographic of the sight's users. For me, I was about 15 when I found out about the Lone Wolf books. Now I'm 31; it was over half my life ago, in 1988.

I was 6 or 7, which would have placed it around '90 or '91, and they went out of print when I was 12 or 13. So it was roughly 2/3 of my life ago.

I'm 23 yrs old now. And its funny, cuz the first real "book" i ever had was Lone Wolf 8 the Jungles of Horror.
I remember going into a bookstore when i was around 10 or 12 and asking the person at the front desk about choose your own adventure books, (i had read the ones in the school library already) and the person led me to the section with all the lone wolf books. If only i'd known how much i would have liked them! Now they're like gold! Alas.

Old, I am, yes? 33 years have I been alive. Lone Wolf, I have read, 16 I was. 1986. Ancient, am I. Ancient...
Lone Wolf was the single-most influential reason I got into role-playing games. I have yet to find a game that holds that same feeling of adventure, however.

I was in 4th grade... I do remember that much - when I got the first GS book. It was a few years later when I got LW books in my hands.
Now I'm pushing 28 and checking the Mongoose site almost daily to see when the RPG is shipped.

I was about 10 when I got 1-5, 8, 10, 11, and 12 (all American) and haven't gotten any more since then. Now I'm 16 and must have played the first five 80 times before I found the Project.

Couldn't resist the first choice ... That would mean 32 in my case. Must have been about 15-16 when I set foot on Magnamund for the first time. Probably caught by vines or something, as I can't seem to get my foot back ... The Wytch-King

I'm 20 now, and I first found the Lone Wolf books when I was 14. My cousin had a cupboard full of fantasy books and gamebooks (mostly Fighting Fantasy) that he used to let me burrow through. One day, I found Flight From the Dark in the back, and I was hooked. I managed to read most of the books since then from libraries and such, but I only ever owned (and still do) four Lone Wolf books. Flight From the Dark, Prisoners of Time, Voyage of the Moonstone and Vampirium. I've still yet to read the Deathlord of Ixia, and all of the New Order books bar the aformentioned two and Book 23.
