[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 7719317, member: 518"] And my experience, running games for a handful of recent HS grads since they were 10yo.is the opposite. They want nothing to do with buying the books, learning the system, and have gravitated to the simplest rules systems over the years even as they have matured. They cannot be bothered with 5e and a whole lot of other games. They want to sit down and get through a fun adventure in 4 hour session. Not get through a couple combats and look up spell descriptions. Frankly, so do I. They would rather watch a movie, play a video game, etc. than deal with complexities. Frankly, so would I. Wait til those 12 year olds get into their later teen years and early adulthood and competition for their fun time goes drastically up. The limited nature of RPGs is based on many factors, but one giant limitation is because of the Industry business model since the late 70s/early 80s. It now feeds off itself and its core group. It is "its nature" because the Industry made it that way. [/QUOTE]
