Actual age of the 4th edition player base

[gothmaugCC]

I'm wondering what WoTC's gameplan is these days, and If we happen to be part of it
So..
3 questions:

1) What do you think is the average age of the majority of current DnD players?

2) What age bracket do you think WoTC is targeting with the new edition?

3) How were YOU brought into the game? (Friend's, older relative, picked it up on your own, etc)?

Well, all wild speculation, but here we go.

1) 35

2) 35

3) friend

 

[Arashi Ravenblade]

1. 30
2. 20 year old crowd
3. Friend in high school

35 is probably the age of the average enworlder. The overall average may be a little lower.

Of course, WotC wants to bring in younger players. It must be one of the goals of 4th ed...if they will succeed, no idea.
