Old Lady Gamer

[wicked cool]

Flgs are always an experience. 1/2 the time I walk into mine just hoping there’s new stuff dodging warhammer/mtg players

Probably close to the same age bracket

I too am an old gamer. And ded.

RPGs will soon be listed as activities found at senior citizen rec centres and retirement villas. Cause honestly, who plays whist anymore?

I have older friends who are members of the University of the Third Age and they already have an organised board game club at their local ‘chapter’. So I am sure you are right!

I haven't been inside a game store in five years and I feel I am missing nothing.

I have been planting the seed to my friends for a decade and a half of getting retirement housing in the same development so we could still get together for RPGs and boardgames and family dinners and just being social. It started in a joking way, once once they were comfortable with the idea existing I admitted that I was really pushing for it. We've had some "what if" discussions, like what state would we want to live in (we're in the US) and stuff. Nothing concrete yet, but we've still got a decade until retirement.

For me it’s that travolta meme from pulp fiction where’s he’s looking around. I like to to support them even when prices are higher plus sometimes there’s thing you miss even when online shopping

I was thinking that was going to be fun branding for people who first played D&D during 3E.

I used to tell people that I gamed with, "I have dice older than you..."

Now I tell them that I have dice older than their parents...

I don't play the elf game, the expensive cards game, or the space nazi figurine game, so most game stores treat me like I don't exist. I may as well return the courtesy.

I was listening to The Eldritch Lore Cast and their young guest was surprised and taken aback that players used to have to assign a mapper to map out the dungeon environment as they explored. I get that this has faded, and no problems here. I hated mapping. But to not even know about the practice? I feel so old.
