Message: <blockquote data-quote="bloodtide" data-source="post: 9703883" data-attributes="member: 6684958">How long someone has played a game has nothing to do with how casual of a mindset they have about the game.1. The first type of Casual Gamer is the Tag along.  Their spouse, significant other, sibling or best friend is a gamer and they tag along.  They just want to spend time with that person.  They don't care about the 'game' at all, just spending time with that person.  They might know a couple rules, maybe.2. The second type is the JAG: The Just A Game person.  To them an RPG is just a game, like any card or board game.  A game is something to be played for a couple minutes and then to just be dumped.  They have other things to do, things much more important then any game.3. The third type is the Careless.  They don't really care about anything, and sure don't care about some silly game.  They are part of the group to socialize, relax and hang out.  They would much rather just get together and do nothing: doing nothing is their favorite thing to do.And most people that say they have been "playing RPGs for 10 years" are not saying 'I have been playing RPGs once a week for the last ten years', but are more saying "oh ten years ago I played for a couple weeks...then did not play at all utterly for seven years...then I got in to a game for a couple months...then did not play for two years...and started playing again a week ago"</blockquote>
