[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 3484674, member: 4881"] Or make some! Of the guys in my current gaming group (6 including me) only 2 had grown up on DnD. The other 4 were guys I like to talk to at work who were up for giving the "DnD thing" a try and ended up really enjoying it. Most of us have wives kids at home but we do have one slightly older fellow and one "single and loving it" fellow. The older ones of us are probably more into the "role-playing" and other are into the "role-playing" but we find a middle ground that everyone enjoys. I don't know of many people who started out playing DnD creating interesting 500 page backstories about our characters. Most of us rolled up a fighter and kicked down the door of a dungeon and started looting. As we grew older (and less excited by the snazzy new monster or loot book) we started to work on the shared story aspect of the game as a new facet to keep us hooked. Some in my group are still enjoying the "kick in the door" phase of the game, others have moved to the "Lemme come up with a wacky character nobody else has done" phase, and still others are in the "Wouldn't it be fun to have an adventure without fighting" phase. I'd say spend some time looking for (or creating) a GOOD group and the fun will be back. If you do quit lemme know and I will email you my address so I can give your stuff a good home. DS [/QUOTE]
