[QUOTE="Longspeak, post: 9534006, member: 7019284"] I turned 57 a few months back. But aside from a few months in the late 90s where I tried to "Grow up and be responsible" (My wife made me stop that, said it was painful how miserable I was), I've gamed since I was 12. Prior to me stroke in July, I was running five games a week. People said I was a freak, but it's all I lived for; it was easy to throw myself into it. The stroke halted that for a while, but I'm back to three games a week. My groups tell me to take it easy, but getting to play is how I keep it easy. I never had a major issue with accessibility before. Reading glasses that I update every year or so, too much glare on screens. But... since the stroke it's been harder to hold a book. I do all me game reading in PDFs at my 27" monitor these days. I too find I have a harder time getting into new rulesets. Up to last year, I was still buying them... Just not reading them so much. It was all I could do to learn Roll20, and that only happened as a 'screw you' to a whippersnapper in the group who called me a neanderthal because I waxed nostalgic about IRC. [/QUOTE]
