[QUOTE="TerraDave, post: 2424688, member: 22260"] This has been an interesting thread...especially the emerging trend of older (college age) players actually seeming more immature. Something confirmed by own memories (though it was fun at points). The late teens and early twenties tend to be "socially dynamic" for people. They can be your best, most die hard players, putting in the time, thought, and effort that gamers with more established lives canot, but they probably also have a certain attitude(s) and issues--from there point of view very big issues--and these can spill over into the session. I looked through some old campaign notes recently...all that venting... I am very glad to play with 30 somethings that are my freinds. And while we don't play as much, and sometimes are not quite as "creative" or "serious" about it as we used to be, the overall game definatly runs better. But Psion, you have gotten the right advice. Meet the guy, trust your first impressions...and in turn give him an idea of what to expect. Maybe he won't want to play with a bunch of Grognards ;) [/QUOTE]
