[QUOTE="Guillaume, post: 1546720, member: 8052"] First of all, welcome on board. You'll see most of the time people are friendly and their bark is mighter than their bite. :) As for the editorial, I can't say I read it. However, we must admit that the average age in the RPG Community is growing. Whereas it was in the teens early 20's twenty years ago, I seem to recal that it has crept up in the late 20's early 30's. If we want our hobby to continue to grow, we must work on recruiting younger players who will still be around in ten-fifteen years. The fact is those in their early teen's did not grow up with the same influences as those that started the RPG movement or those that came on board in the '80s. In the mean time, CRPG grew into a multimillion dollars industry, CCG appeared and caught the world in a whirlwind, new movies and litterature caught the imagination. The end result is that alot of kids coming into the hobby do not see the game the same way we do or even did. It is therefore inescapable that the Game IS GOING to change. The rythm of that change will depend on alot of things, but change is coming. No doubt about it. Good or bad ? We'll see. For now, I'll just enjoy rolling my dice. TTYL [/QUOTE]
