[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8717234, member: 59082"] I think age is a secondary factor that may or may not impact a more primary factor: To what degree the players have been exposed (or are interested in) what we could call "non-traditional fantasy ideas" and other aspects of geek culture. A lot of more casual players, and especially players that don't play video games or engage in a wide range of "geek culture," associate fantasy with Tolkien or Conan, or other more traditional, classic forms. So a dragonborn or warforged is exotic. Whether that is perceived as a good or bad thing, depends on the individual. Some are interested, some not - and the determining factor might mostly be a matter of subjective taste. Even some long-time D&D players just never got into certain aspects of geek culture, be it World of Warcraft or anime or steampunk or whatnot. And of course there's the matter of taste - different strokes for different folks. [/QUOTE]
