[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9859164, member: 4534"] I was thinking these can't be the good days because the good days were when I was a kid! But the truth of the matter is that gaming is a lot better in a lot of ways compared to what it was in the 80s and 90s. [LIST=1] [*]There are a plethora of games available covering a wide variety of genres and different types of rules. [*]Production values are much better. Editing, book layouts, art, even the type of paper used has improved. [*]The internet means I can find just about any type of game that might suit my interest. I'm not reliant on what my FGLS feels like stocking. [*]Gaming is much more diverse than it was in decades past. I'm not surprised to see women and girls, openly gay people, or even those blessed with a high melanin content at my local game store these days. [*]YouTube and other platforms makes it much easier to get reviews or even see how a game is supposed to work. [/LIST] It's not all perfect of course. But it's a good time to be a gamer. [/QUOTE]
