(And was the oldest until early this year when a friend of mine got back into gaming after a ten year hiatus.) I am older than the oldest player in my current D&D game by seventeen years. (And until late last year I was better than 20 years odler than the oldest player until another more mature player joined.)Mostly I handle it by just accepting that my hobbies and entertainments are different from those around me. (I also listen to folk music & storytelling, do cardstock modelling, and study history and religion as a Unitarian and lapsed Catholic.) I also break my relationships into groups - those who game, those who listen to folk music, etc.with little overlap between any two groups. (To the extent that my gaming friends sort of thought that my girlfriend was imaginary. A conceit she abetted in until a rash of 'Jackie sightings' took place. Darn the one person folk music - roleplaying overlap! Jackie is a non-gamer, but an avid folkie.)For the folk music group I am younger than most, and I am about average for the religion and history groups. Cardstock modeling is pretty solitary, and my only contacts for that is via the internet. So I handle it idiosyncratically.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
