[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8835657, member: 82106"] Fair enough... HOWEVER, maybe not completely accurate! (I mean, maybe it is too, I'm not picking a fight). Lets see... Of the people I played with in, say 1981, I know that my sister still players (and is [USER=2093]@Gilladian[/USER] on EnWorld), my mother is 86 and has played within the last 2-3 years although she doesn't anymore. My brother, he was the least into it, though he probably would join a game given time and opportunity for a one-off at least. David, still plays AFAIK now and then. Mike, haven't talked to him in a few years, but I'm 100% sure he still runs games, its in his blood. Darcy, married Mike, so yup. Lisa, yup. Krystal was in my 4e campaign a few years ago and her husband plays a lot of RPGs. Kir, same thing. Rick, married Kir. My brother-in-law, yup still playing 3.5 and some 5e. Cannot say about my college friends, or people I played with before 1981 as I've lost touch with them. Meh, I may be somewhat of an outlier, but not that much. Most of the people I played with in Vermont in the early '80s actually still DO play RPGs, and/or have played them in the last 5 years and probably would do so again. Now, they don't hang out on EnWorld, pretty much, but some of them do hold forth in other places, watch podcasts, play in games that are online, etc. I think there was actually kind of a core of us that were just so amazed and thrilled by the whole RPG thing that it never stopped being fun and entertaining for us. I admit there was a time in the mid to late '90s when I played very little myself, but once a gamer, always a gamer! hahaha. [/QUOTE]
