[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 9692955, member: 1788"] I'm in my late 40s. I often meet people and chat with them about hobby stuff around my job area. Every so often I meet someone mentioned D&D/RPGs and they show an interest. "Oh I've always wanted to try that." or "I used to play 10+ years ago." Etc etc. So I invite them to my weekly game at the FLG and they chuckle and look away and convo moves on. I read a lot about how now-a-days there is a surge to play RPGs. I haven't really seen it in person. I've also read that people are having a hard time finding new friends, well maybe don't laugh when someone invites you to something. I have a young co-worker who just works, studies, and plays games at home. He moved here from another state right before i met him. Figured he could use some friends in this new area he finds himself in. Invite him to play. Chuckles and we move on. Another employee, a young lady. Big Star Wars fan. She says she wants to try D&D. I invite her. Laugh. Move on. Group later tries Star Wars D6. We are having a blast and next time she and I are chatting I mention we are playing it. "Ive always wanted to try that!" I invite her. Laughs. Move on. I can't tell you how many people Ive talked to that "I want to try D&D!" and then when you invite them laugh and look away, Not to mention randos that are talking D&D and I greet them etc. Some are nice enough to not laugh but just keep the convo rolling. I can only assume the issue is me. IDK. Just wanted to rant. [IMG alt="Teeth Weirdo GIF"]https://media4.giphy.com/media/0LYFyMMIg292GYIOSN/200.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
