[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9133153, member: 6684958"] Well, sure, as again my past is 1005 unique compare to anyone else would would post. But there was a time when the gamer community was open and included all gamers with in a good fifty mile radius. Everyone knew each other, play in each others games, there was a ton of cross gaming, new players came, old players went and on and on. Really this reached a dizzying height after 2000 or so and 3E. Not only were game/comic stores full of 3E games, but so were most malls(and as a MallWereRat, I was there). Plus all the home games at peoples homes. And it was not just 3E, but also Magic!. And the crazy of other card games...remember that Star Wars one? And a bunch of other RPGs too. The Gated Games were the rare ones. Though sure they were there from the start. There was always that group that kept their game quiet (the first rule of RPGing is to not talk about RPGing, though this was years before fight club). The group that did not mix with other gamers, and never let others join "there" game. But going by the comments, it seems everyone else.....except my area.....has now reversed that. All games are gated games and there is little or no open gaming. [/QUOTE]
