My name is John, 42 year old gamer currently living in eastern Pennsylvania (after spending the past 16 years in Colorado). I played Moldvay B/X throughout the 80's, some Traveller and a little AD&D; the 90's was the decade of Call of Cthulhu and White Wolf/Vampire while I was in Colorado (D&D was for kids, right?); about 5 years ago my group went back to Moldvay B/X and had a blast. When I moved to Pennsylvania, I had to build a new gaming group, we started with a short AD&D campaign, experimented with 3.5, experimented with 4E when it came out, and after a year and a half of banging my head against the 4E system, went back to Moldvay B/X earlier this year. The other guys (all in their 40's) were skeptical about basic D&D up front (isn't that the version for kids?) but have come around to embracing the rules light approach.
I got exposed to LOTFP primarily by seeing online reviews of Death Frost Doom last year and grabbing the PDF off RPGNOW; I was so enamored of the style and atmosphere that I ended up getting much of the back catalog at the time (Grinding Gear, No Dignity in Death, People of Pembrook...). "And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that!" That was my epiphany reading Death Frost Doom - if you've read it or own it, you know what I mean. Wow. So that's when I became a fan.
These days we just launched a game using B/X that is being converted to WFRP; we started using pieces of WFRP as house rules, and just recently the guys voted to use the whole thing. Really hoping we see a commercial rules book that is readily available and affordable - a black and white softcover, something. As DM, I plan on getting the hardback book regardless of how deluxe, but I'm sure the players would love to have their own copies, if possible.
I also intend to feature quite a few LOTFP adventure modules (if possible - I offer a lot of possible places to adventure, but the players ultimately need to decide where to go or not...). They explored Tower of the Stargazer, are investigating The Grinding Gear, and I have some ideas on guiding them towards Death Frost Doom and Hammer of the Gods in the near future - there is a journal on Dragonsfoot if anyone is interested (http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=45047 - read the entries on Sterich).
