We do a lot of gaming one-on-one -- it never seems to get old (I wish I could say the same for myself!). As for other players, we still play with my brother and my two closest friends from my home town; we've been gaming together for 27 years, and we still haven't figured out how to win the damned game <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />. A few players have come and gone over the years, but we've been lucky never to have lost our core group.Because I'm a middle school/high school teacher, I have an opportunity to play with much younger people, and have turned about 20 of them into avid gamers in the last two years. Three of them have begun DMing their own games. Playing with them reminds me of my own first youthful excursions into RPGs -- it's extremely rewarding, and I feel I'm doing my part to grow the hobby.</blockquote>
