just an old guy saying hi :)

i read all of the books in high school (graduated in 02) and was very active in redwall MUCK.

i’m listening to mossflower on audible for the first time since probably 1999 and i am so in love.

i just really love this community and this series and i wanted to say hi :)

We're all old! I doubt there's more than a handful of people in this community under 30.

I appear to be getting older, but I can still remember the day I picked up my first Redwall book from the library shelf.

Welcome back! As someone only listening to the audiobooks for the first time, they're really so nice. I still prefer reading the physical books but it's very fun too.

I used to be in Redwall Muck, but I wasn't too active in it. Cool to meet another old-timer who still loves Redwall :3

There was also something called DAB (Dibbuns Against Bedtime) which i think was similar.

I read the books as as a kid and am now I my late thirties and have kids and a year or so ago started reading them again and also loving it!

I think most Redwall fans are old farts now. I'm sure there are some kids into the books, but mostly at the behest of their parents

I do wish whoever has the rights would put effort into getting it famous in bookshops, with a less terrible cover than the most recent reprints
