[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8509504, member: 11"] I'm 50. I hadn't run a game in 10 years when I started my most recent game and a move and friend break-up kind of ruined the chance I'd get to run something again or play in a game run by one of the other people in the group (which I did for 4 of those 10 years). I had played with some iteration of those same people since 1996 - but then a friend of my wife, new to the game, convinced me to run a game for her and her husband. She found another player for the group and we invited someone who had never played before who is part of our board game night and suddenly not only did I have a new group, but I felt refreshed in my love of the game and we've been going strong for 2 years this month. So I would say, don't give up. Introducing new people to the game is fun and with D&D's increased popularity there are a lot more people who might express interest in at least [I]trying[/I] than in any other time in our history with the game.
