[QUOTE="Guillaume, post: 860396, member: 8052"] I was introduced to RPGs in 1980-1981 through the BD&D red box set. My father bought it for me. Over the course of the next two decades, I gamed off and on, introducing family and friends to the game and its subsequent variants. Now, over that time, I think I've introduced maybe 20 or 25 person to the game. Of those, maybe a handful still game. Most importantly, one of the last person I introduced to the game is my wife. She goes by the handle Julie on these boards. Needless to say, she is totally hooked. As for younger ones, after all I am 31, getting introduced to gaming. It does happen. I live in a small town in Eastern Quebec. Rimouski has a population of maybe 40,000 (when school is in session !). Combine to that that it is mostly a French speaking town, and you have alot of things going against D&D (Translated books usually cost 25-75% more than the original version). Anyhow, Rimouski manages to have a small but thriving FLGS. Every once in a while you see teenagers going through the RPG books, looking for new stuff or for a way to get into D&D. In brief, I think that the futur of RPG is bright. It will certainly be different than what it is today, but it will still be there. There is a new generation coming. :) [/QUOTE]
