[QUOTE="Lwaxy, post: 5950891, member: 53286"] It is either people have other interests, or the already mentioned rules baggage. Time is a factor in most interests nowadays - even for things related to your health, like physical activity. I should swim several times a week but can't because the pool is too far with bad public transport and also has bad opening times. It is just not doable, and I'd love to be able to. So maybe RPG groups don't meet at the right time or places in addition to the rules one would have to learn and the time it takes to make a PC the way you want it. Maybe the sessions are too long, or they would prefer less and longer sessions (this is always an issue in my groups). And in addition, at least people 30 and up already have a hobbies they are already doing so adding one more would take time away from them. With exception of one grandma to one of the kids playing, I didn't have anyone over the age of 25 start RPGing, anyone older has just switched groups. [/QUOTE]
