[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9671583, member: 7044462"] Sorry to hear that. I had something similar happen back in younger days. Our HS gaming group fell apart when HS ended. One player moved to another city for university, DM and other player went to do mandatory military service, another one just stopped answering texts. So no gaming for year and a half, but i stayed in touch and hang out with one guy from that group (that guy is now one of my closest friends and was my best man). His sister introduced us to 2 of her friends who also didn't have group. If it wasn't for her, i would probably stop playing way back in 2007. I totally get your point about preferring to play with people of same age. I'm in similar boat. No so much age wise but in similar life phase. I played two sessions last year with newish group (i know dm and one player since 2018). They are all single, in late 20s/early 30s (except one player in early 40s but he lives like he's in early 20s). On the other hand, i'm married, have 2 kindergarden aged kids, Just scheduling was nightmare, had to cancel couple of times, managed to play 2 sessions in 3 months and then i just quit that group cause i felt bad being one that cancels most of the time. Playing during the week from 18/19 till almost midnight is big ask. Same. Online play just doesn't do it for me. I'm stealing your list and adding a caveat to tier 3. Private friend group VOIP but for short adventures only. At this point in life, if my group stopped playing, i would probably just stop playing also, at least until are in higher grades of elementary school. Until then, schedule is pretty rigid and free time slot for any ttrpgs/boardgames is mostly Sunday morning. For video games, i can spare few late evening hours every month. [/QUOTE]
