[QUOTE="korjik, post: 4420231, member: 56755"] I wonder, is this really true? Does anyone know if there is a poll around here about the age of players? I will be 40 in 387 days, and my players average about 32 now. That may just mean that I am out of touch, but I seem to remember a pretty even spread of age when I was selling the stuff back in the 90s I wonder wether it isnt an assumption that the average player is a teen. That since everyone knows it is true, it must be true. On the question of wether D&D sould be more adult, I look at what real life was like, and I see no reason to shelter teens from that sort of thing. Look at how the minotaur came about greek myth. I guess I see some hypocrisy in a game based around killing things in very nasty ways, then stealing their stuff, but a naked breast is unacceptable. But like I said, I am pushing 40. I prolly see thing quite a bit different. [/QUOTE]
