[QUOTE="Sunsword, post: 7907970, member: 51833"] You are not alone, but it's okay that we aren't their target audience. I'm going to be 50 in a few years. I'm pretty set in my ways when it comes to role-playing and at the moment I can be because I have a stable and like-minded group. But this hobby and this edition needs new faces and the kind of energy I don't have the time to give between having a career, paying my bills, and being a husband, father, and grandfather. I've watched as I've aged out of the zeitgeist in the last 10 years. I first noticed it in comics and then in movies. I love 5E and the OSR but I'm not going to finish 2-3 campaigns a year so I don't need to buy them and I don't want more than 1 rule addition per year either. There are things about WotC's plans that make me go "Huh?", but that's okay because I still play their game, buy some of their stuff, and get together twice a week to have fun, roll some dice, blow off steam and kill some monsters and take their stuff. Let the younger and newer players take the spotlight, I'm too tired to keep doing it. [/QUOTE]
