A while ago someone on this forum commented on my low age (20) and hinted that most tabletop gamers are much older than that. My entire group consists of 19-20 year olds, as well as most gamers I know. So I'm a bit curious, how old are you guys? How old are your fellow gamers? ^^

To a Peach I am Ancient, but to the Mountain I am barely a youth.

But for a Man, I am just right. :P

I'm 45 and the eldest of the group.  We meet over Skype and I'm also the only one not in the USA

I'm 35 and in my group we're all around the same age.  I did join up with another group where people were younger, but that game stopped unfortunately.  But I started out when I was 18 (at university) and I guess quite a lot of the 'old' guys on the forum here started out when they were a lot younger.  So don't worry about it, you will get to our age at one point.

But always remember, birthdays is good.  Studies have shown that people with the most birthdays live the longest. :)

I'm in my mid-forties and think I might have just found a group here in Boston (actually, they found me ;)).

My group consists of people in their late 20's. I'm the oldest at 37.

My local games have me playing with anyone from 16 to their mid-50s.  The majority are in their 30s, which I'm below by a bit. 
Would you want to go into a place where the resident had a drum-fed shotgun and can see in the dark?

I guess my group's at the lower end on ages. I'm just shy of 22, and the oldest in my group. We have players ranging all the way down to 16, and even he's been with us for over a year.

We range from low 30s to low 40s. Act like 12 year old sometimes though but that might be the Japanese heat

The Players at my Tables (Plural I have a Pool of ca 12-15 Players , some play in only one Round, some in 4 or even 5 different ones) are between 22 and 45 Years old (IIRC, we don't care so much about the Age)
