[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9356676, member: 58172"] Heh. Overall this post comes across as an apologetic on behalf of nostalgia. In my experience, the people who have said something like this tend to be baby-boomers. For example, they were less religious as teens but "became religious" when they themselves had kids and wanted some kind of structured environment for the kids. But this approach might be generational. I am less sure parents of other generations feel the same way. Fortunately, D&D 5e is a huge big tent, and tends to have at least something to offer from across editions and from every decade. When looking at the Australian music study, I notice people have slightly more tolerance for the stuff before they were born than for the stuff after they turn 35. In other words, the music that their parents liked that they were forced to listen to growing up, is still negative overall, even if they are slightly more used to it. So even tho parents have influence, the tastes form from the peers and what is going on in the world, beyond the parental control. D&D can, does, and should offer something for every age group.
