[QUOTE="Snoweel, post: 5078163, member: 4453"] While I don't play WoW, I'm sure if it existed when I was 10 I would never have bothered playing D&D. While I get out of TTRPGs something that CRPGs are a long way from being able to offer (if ever), when I was a kid I pined for a game like WoW. Then again, as Stormonu points out, Harry Potter has revived young adult reading and those fans are exactly the kind of people who are likely to get out of D&D what most of us established gamers do. But aiming D&D too young is a mistake, IMO. I was a pretty smart kid and what I got out of D&D until I stopped playing at age 14, would have been better provided by WoW. What I have gotten out of D&D since starting again at age 23 is more in line with what the Harry Potter series provides. I just think early 20's (probably late teens) is a better target demographic than anything under 15 years of age, but of course my 'research' is entirely anecdotal. [/QUOTE]
