I think this is a really interesting poll. I wonder how accurate a sample this is of the general population of gamers?

I think the usual assumption is that here at ENWorld we skew a bit higher on the age end than the 'average population' of gamers.

A small bit or a large bit, do you think? Do you not thing the average game is in his mid- to late- 30s?

The average ENWorlder is definitely in the mid to late 30s...but I'd say the average gamer is in their 20s. If you listen to most people's stories here of when they started playing, its in that age bracket. Thing is, a lot of those players seem to stop after college.

Of course, to throw another wrench into it, you get the old complaint about the WotC forum being filled with 13 year olds. Sure, its an exaggeration, but there's definitely a large population of teenagers playing the game and either talking about it on other boards or just not talking about it at all.
