You answered your own question."Golden Age" doesn't refer to the experience of an individual but to society or culture as a whole.There are now more players, more ways of playing, more access to RPG tools, more RPG variety, and even more acceptance as a hobby. I could literally play RPGs for the rest of my life for free, and I'm not talking about pirated stuff, but stuff companies and people have shared online for nothing. If I'm willing to spend money, I can pretty much get anything I want, including stuff published in the 70s and 80s. I am constantly seeing stuff that I didn't know I wanted, but suddenly "have to have." I can go online and find players from around the world with the same interests. If I don't want to play online, I can still find players through multiple media that I didn't have access to 30 years ago. I found my current group through a Facebook group. We have now completed a three-year campaign, and they are among my closest friends.This is a Golden Age for RPGs by any stretch of the imagination. The only thing I don't have more of is time.</blockquote>
