The idea of being able to play D&D all day until the nurses put me to bed is quite enlivening. I can look forward to a good retirement after all - and the chance to progress to an epic level character. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Having said that - until this thread, I wasn't really classing myself as older... but I am - I have a wife and two kids - one now starting to play in my quarterly game. I am nearly 40.... but much fun to come.One suggestion I have for getting to recruit older gamers is to chat about what books they read. If there is a genre focus on fantasy you can get in there and invite them for a gaming evening. My weekly group did this and we now how our first female gamer - and she is mad about the game. I think, as you grow older, escapism is becoming more welcome instead of being "cool". One of the guys at work found out that I was a gamer and quickly decided this was for him also - sadly the group is too full to accept him in.</blockquote>
