Interesting that we both joined Jan 2002.
When I was a teen my friends and I used to joke about being in the same old folks' home so we could keep gaming. Now, that's less of a joke. I spend a lot of free time reading and working on D&D materials (for campaigns, not professional work). I keep wondering who will game with a 50 year old... Or a 60...
I have children and it looks like they are gamers, too - my oldest (12) is about to LARP, which I have never done, so perhaps if I live for 20 or 30 more years I will be able to play with their friends. Hard to say.
Do you think about the same things? I realiE there are older games hitting thus wall now - always have been. How do they deal with it?
