Message: <blockquote data-quote="Samurai" data-source="post: 5501740" data-attributes="member: 3850">All of the players have fallen into 1 of 2 groups:  kids (ages 8-18 or so) and older people returning to the hobby (35-45 or so).  We haven't really had many in between those 2 groups.My regular Fridays Pathfinder group is in their lat 30's to early 50's (!).  I have tried several times to get them to give 4e a chance, but they just aren't interested.  They are very interested in the role-playing aspect, and feel that 4e, and especially the Encounters format, doesn't play to that aspect very well.  Also, most of them have families and can't spare another day away when we already have a weekly game going.The store does hold MtG tournaments, and they are usually well attended, with at least 3 tables of people.  The store sells vastly more Magic cards and other CCGs than it does RPGs, and the clientele reflects that.  We have had some Magic players join us on occasion, but they are never very steady players... in fact, some have taken out their Magic cards and started a game with each other DURING the Encounters session, ignoring what the other players were doing and what was happening, and then asking to be caught up on what just happened when their turn came around!  I told them that I couldn't allow that during the game, and they needed to concentrate on the game or else not bother to play at all.  They decided they'd rather not play D&D then.I have run several D&D game day events too, but it doesn't bring in anyone new besides whomever is currently playing Encounters with me at the time.</blockquote>
