This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: SosthenesMany groups age 12-15? That was the starting age back then. Some people started even younger and there were special games for young adolescents (the blue box and the literary adventures). So a 20-ish group today was a young one 8 years ago.

Neither DSA nor D&D are games for 12 year olds anymore. I don´t think, that this is a good thing - it´s just the way it is. I have predicted an average age of 30something, so 20 is a positive surprise for me.

We will try to change that in the future, but today, a game with 2 to 4 rulebooks (or even one beginner set with 200 pages) does not attract young gamers. Probably next year there will be a new product from us, trying to attract new gamers. Until then, we have to stick to "old" gamers and single new ones "caught" by existing groups.

I happily support any efforts to get teenagers into gaming. This is an area that has been sadly neglected. Not just the publishers fault, of course. Not many teenagers getting into BASIC programming (or its equivalent) nowadays, either. It was a geekier time back then ;)

I think, thats exactly the point. But there are still geeks around, we just have to catch them (exept the furries, i don´t want any furries - or trekkies, or... well :D )

Quote from: SosthenesDude, did it include THE MASK?

It did indeed.

Sales effect, as far as this costumer is concerned: No DSA for me, not ever.
