[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9780357, member: 6802378"] Please, take care with the slang because some readers are from other nations and our English level is different. Teenagers have got more time to play TTRPGs with their friends, but not enough money. Adults have got enough money but they are too busy with their jobs and families (more if their children are babies or toddlers). The adventage of D&D is this can be an intergenerational hobby, parents playing with their children. Some new players from the youngest generation started thanks their parents or other family member. Even a mature who doesn't play any more can spend his money for gifts, for example the romantic comedy novel "Dating Dragons" for his teenage niece. Maybe in the next years we will see more LEGO sets for the new line D&D. This is the way Hasbro bets for D&D toys. I guess they don't want to create a new line of action figures because they would rather to keep selling figures of Disney and Warner franchises, and the toy market isn't the same with the arrival of videoconsoles. D&D is not only a group of guys throwing dices on a table. It is also when a geek is writting her own fanfiction. Hasbro is a megacorporation and this means more power for better deals in agreements with other companies about collabs and crossovers. * D&D franchise could be affected if there is some merger or acquisition among Hasbro or other company with its own IPs but this enters in the field of speculation.
