[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7562452, member: 6796661"] Depends what the topic of discussion is. If it is about, say, how the game was played in the 70s and 80s, I think whether or not you were playing in the 70s or 80s gives your anecdotes more weight than someone who was not. I also think that someone who has played multiple editions and many systems over many years *may* have more insight regarding, say, the effect of some specific rule on game play. But if I want to know more about what makes a game attractive to young, new players the grognards may not be the best people to listen to. In many of my posts I state that I started playing in the early 80s. Stopped in the early 90s. Started again with 5e. My purpose in doing so is simply to give those that I'm engaging in a discussing with an idea of where I'm coming from. It may increase the weight or decrease the weight of any assertions I make.
