How am I a D&D outlier? How are you one?

[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8509696, member: 4348"] 1. So is half of one of my groups...not an outlier (these days in some areas at least)...unless my group is all an outlier 4. Okay...now you are ostracized. Definitely an outlier. 9. That MAY be an outlier in today's gaming 10. Seems to vary from group to group...so maybe? 11. Seen #1 above...BUT...reading another of your posts...it seems maybe it is far less common than I thought? That actually goes with my experience as well now that I think about it. Starting in the 90s a majority of my groups became recruited by me, so that meant that those I hung out with usually were the ones who became players. That could mean that the composition of those I play with differ greatly than those who generally play the game otherwise. I don't go to CONS and other things, so my exposure to large groups of people could be different. At least one of my groups is composed of players that are 86% POC with only one white guy who plays with us (7 players one DM). It never occurred to me that this may actually not be typical. I've had Japanese, Chinese, and Korean players in my groups occasionally, never a Southeastern Asian yet. I've had a few players from Central and South America. Never thought of most of the things mentioned in the thread as outliers overall...but now that you mention it and discussed it, it may be that I and the group (I have several gaming groups, this particular group I've been gaming with for around 5-6 years?) actually might qualify as an outlier (meaning my statement on #1 above is actually wrong, it is an outlier). Strange, I never really thought of the group as the odd ones out or on the fringes of gaming. They are the MOST D&D oriented group I play in as well. The farthest we've gone from D&D is mixing some stuff from various editions together and maybe some C&C stuff, but that's the most we vary from D&D itself. I don't think any of us ever saw ourselves as being different from the rest of the gaming community...but now that it's mentioned...maybe we are? Weird thing to think about all of a sudden. [/QUOTE]
