[QUOTE="Musing Mage, post: 8079060, member: 7025552"] I have been gaming for 34 years, half of that time was devoted to a single 2nd Ed campaign. Have since further gone retro and have been running a 1st Ed campaign that's entering its 8th year. Needless to say I don't know many DMs who run those editions (I personally know only two decent 1st Ed DMs and one 2nd Ed) and there's not a lot of call to play them. I even have a couple of friends who played and enjoyed old-school systems back in the day, but only want to play newer editions regardless. In the past year I have started getting into 5th ed, but conversely have met plethora of people who either DM or are seeking to. Now, this is by virtue of a local Meetup group that was doing ongoing 5e meetups. Still - even though there were many DMs, there was always a shortage compared to the demand of people wanting to play. Any game posted filled up fast, and there were often emails beseeching players to consider DMing to create more tables. Of the DMs I've personally interacted with in this group, I've can think of only two who are from the old-school (and roughly my age) and the rest are younger and only know the newer editions.
