[QUOTE="fumetti, post: 5429007, member: 6667461"] Sure, in theory there are no barriers. But in reality, it's different. It becomes impossible to keep the group together. First, the schedule becomes unworkable. The gang is almost never free to play at the same time. Second, playing keeps getting pushed farther down the priority list. Time becomes the most precious commodity of all. And gaming is a major time consumer. Playing DnD-type games requires a massive commitment of time and energy that (seems apparent to me) most maturing players don't believe they can afford. And/or their group is unable to keep it together. Life just gets in the way. And the other option is chasing down strangers to play and for whatever reason that just isn't satisfying enough. I've always said that DnD is the greatest game ever invented by humans. But it's hard to keep it going over time. Anyone who has managed to keep a group together from high school or college until their 40s has IMO achieved a major accomplishment. A rarity to be treasured for certain. [/QUOTE]
