The Age of Members

[PhishStyx]

I am curious to know the age ranges of our membership. I know that the profile allows us to list our membership, but not everyone does.

And lo, let there be a poll!

[rabkala]

So if not everyone does divulge their age in the public profile, why do you think they will tell you in a poll? That might create an odd dynamic which will give you a scewed result. Wouldn't it just be better to hire ninjas to track down these secretive people and poison or at least publicly humiliate them?

[PhishStyx]

If members dislike the idea of this thread, then they should feel free to use the report button at the top of my initial post to complain about it.

[rabkala]

So touchy...

[PhishStyx]

And feely.

[Digital Arcanist]

Promise?

If they don't like the thread then don't read it or respond to it. I know, its a revolutionary idea in America today. This philosophy also works on radio, TV, and literature. Pioneers in this field of study have even invented a system of labels to aid people in the decision making process.

This thread is rated M for Marsha Marsha Marsha!

I am 26 and some change! Seems there's awful high number of "fogeys" on the forums.....I got a couple more years till I get my fogey card. What benefits can I look forward to?

[PhishStyx]

Arthritis, blood pressure pills, mounting bills (mostly them mounting you), crotchety older relatives wanting you to care for them, and the ever increasing sense that you missed something earlier in life (or simply forgot your keys).

[Digital Arcanist]

I have all those now....well at least I think I have the arthritis!!!

[PhishStyx]

I forgot to mention the kids. At some point, you're forced by the government to reproduce and take care of these tiny creatures that just won't stop growing. Sure they start small. . . but yeesh! And then they turn on you and eat you, which is called puberty.

[Digital Arcanist]

I liked boarding school and so will my kids!!! Muawhahahahahaha!!!!

[Moritz]

I think Farcaster can run a search on this thing and actually come up with an actual result on everyone's age, if they didn't lie on their registration.

[PhishStyx]

I liked boarding school and so will my kids!!! Muawhahahahahaha!!!!

They'll have summers, and Christmas vacations, and Easters, and all sorts of other holidays.

[Dimthar]

I liked boarding school and so will my kids!!! Muawhahahahahaha!!!!

Daughters can get pregnant anywhere in the world.

[Digital Arcanist]

That's why I have Catholic Church approved chastity belts for my girls.

I believe they are known as localized Iron Maidens!!!

[Malruhn]

Well, thus far I'm the old man of the crew. Not that I'm surprised.

What were we talking about again? :lol:

[Digital Arcanist]

Are you having a Senior Moment?

I never said anyone had to respond, the sarcasm is just insulting.

Another revolutionary idea is to contribute to threads instead of posting random gibberish to get a higher post count, but some mods don't get that.

I thought the meaning of my post was clear, but apparently not. Perhaps my attempt at humor confused some, because they have an irrational fear of ninjas. What I was saying is, most people that would respond have already put this information out there. Those that don't have it in their profile, probably will not respond. To get good information we would do something along the lines of Moritz's idea.

[PhishStyx]

The thread has not broken any rules, why would I report it?

You seemed to dislike the thread. I was simply offering you the opportunity to say so in the forum's official manner.

[rabkala]

While I don't see any great merit in the thread, I neither like nor dislike it. It might get better.

What I don't like: Mayonnaise, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, the smell of rotten eggs, the sound of finger nails on a chalkboard, the feel of old dry newspaper, the color purple (the color, not the movie), rule without representation, war, the sight of a child crying, people who let a little power go to their head, and those who think they are superior for no good reason. There are a few other things, but for the sake of brevity I have omitted them. For a more complete listing, feel free to PM me.

[Malruhn]

Ah, you don't know how happy I am to see that I'm not the only old fart on here.

Thank you to whomever ponied up the vote for the fogies!! WOOT!

[dormcook]

I am 44.
I tell my children all the time, I know why old male bears eat there young.
I don't look back at the "good" old days much. There were good days and bad days just like now.
No blood pressue pills, but I should get that checked.
Vision is still good, hearing was never that good and I have been a smart ass my whole life, so no great changes there.

[Drohem]

Physically I hit 40 this year, but mentally I'm still about 23-years-old.;)

[InfoStorm]

So far 60% or more people responding at 33 or older (I am, WHERE'S MY WALKER!).

Remember the joy if being an old gamer is the right to day, "I've been playing the game for 30 years, give or take a year." Ammusing to see reactions when that number is greater than the age of some players.

[Olothfaern]

33, at least I haven't racked up any age penalties yet; although I'm ready for that Int increase, maybe I'll get paid more...

[Skunkape]

Well, thus far I'm the old man of the crew. Not that I'm surprised.

What were we talking about again? :lol:

I think some other old men have joined you! We have to get our sleep you know and we're much slower to respond to things as well!:D

Oh yeah and as far as blood presure pills are concerned, my doctor kept resisting putting me on the pills, even though I told him my parents both had high blood presure. Kept telling me, cut out salt, which I finally got across to him that I was eating 50% or less of the daily requirement.

Then he wanted me to loose weight, so I dropped weight to the weight he wanted me to be at. Guess what my blood pressure still wouldn't go down. So he finally put me on the pills, and ama-za-zing, my blood pressure went down. Imagine, someone other than the doctor actually knowing what's good for them!;)

[dormcook]

We are having a good time talking about all of this, but I am afraid it brings us to a darker point. Most pen and paper rpg players are older. The new generation play computer games instead.

I remember when I started the whole thing was so great it was overhelming. I have tried to gently introduce my children to all of this, but there experience with video games has taken a bit of the wow factor away.

I think the demise of dragon magazine and dungeon magazine in hand held form points to the trend.
Gaming has stopped being a home grown thing, and started to be a new system every 5 years to sell new books, but very little content to support those books once they arrive.

[Moritz]

To add to what Dormcook noted;

I recently started up a new D&D game and my girlfriend has been inducted into the gaming fun. She and I normally play WoW together and she reported that D&D was fun, just really slow. Since she's used to running into an area and laying the smack-down on the monsters of WoW, she sees that it takes far longer to resolve conflict in D&D.

[Skunkape]

One of the new members to our group has made similar referrences to how online gaming is much faster. He's fairly recent to playing pen & paper style games, so I know where you're at with your girlfriend Moritz.

[Xaels Greyshadow]

I'm 39 today and I have been playing D&D for around 30 years off and on. I tried WoW for a couple of months, but the luster wore off quickly and I was lucky to have been invited to play in a real D&D game locally. Cheers to the FOG's of D&D, and long live 3.5 Ruleset.

[Drohem]

Happy Birthday Xaels! You're way past the worst B-days. 25 and 30 are milstones for some reason. After that, it's all downhill as they say ;)

[PhishStyx]

Congrats Mr. Greyshadow on making it to 39!

[ghostwalker]

I'm 35 myself, and been playing since I was 16. Still love every minute of it!

On the WoW note, I've never played myself; I prefer pen and paper games over computer games. However, one of my friends dropped off the face of the earth for almost a year because he started playing WoW. It's practically addictive for some people. I imagine it has to do with the pacing and the stunning visuals those types of games have. I don't see the attraction myself. I much prefer interacting with my friends and using my imagination to "see" the action. Also, I don't have the patience to sit through a computer game. After 30 minutes, I start getting bored.

To be honest, though, if I had cut my teeth on computer games instead, I would probably have the opposite opinion. I tend to be fanatically loyal to my pastimes.:)

[Moritz]

Oh, forgot to note.

Originally, my gaming group went to Neverwinter Nights to get our gaming on, then many of us migrated to WoW. Kept the social thing going cause we played with people we knew. And then when I picked up this girlfriend, she watched us play and wanted to play also. She never video gamed, or even RPG'd. But it's fun to her and also doubles as fun boyfriend/girlfriend stuff to do, plus it's a cheap and entertaining date.

What else can you do all month as much as you like for 15 bucks a head? A single person going to a movie can easily spend 15 bucks for 2 hours of entertainment plus snacks.

[boulet]

hmmm table top players look like dinosaurs ! and so do I :D


Maybe the younger generation heard the siren song of MMORPG but personally I never got impressed by any digital RPG whatever the media. And I have no technophobia mind you

[boulet]

So if not everyone does divulge their age in the public profile, why do you think they will tell you in a poll?

at least it's anonymous when in a poll thread... or is it ?

[rabkala]

anonymous... maybe not. Right now there are probably government agents and right wing conservative groups tracking the movements of this subversive element known as 'gamers'. It is a plot to take over the world. Once they have found all the identities of gamers worldwide, they send e-bombs to them all. The coded messages work into your subconscious and soon they have an army of warriors like the world has never seen. The new age of darkness that follows will pave the way for Cuthulu's arrival... ;)

Okay, maybe it is relatively anonymous.

[Mulsiphix]

Just wanted to add that I am 26 and my wife is 22. We both left video gaming behind us over a year ago and have turned to pen and paper gaming for establishing real memories with real people.

[MortonStromgal]

I turn 30 this year, odd time for me on one hand I spend far too much time gaming on the other I spend too little

[rabkala]

Oooo 30. It is all downhill from there. Soon throwing bones will have nothing to do with dice. ;)

[MortonStromgal]

Oooo 30. It is all downhill from there. Soon throwing bones will have nothing to do with dice. ;)

Too late, I already talk about the good old days of gaming where systems were crap and the forge didn't exist. We used blank paper for character sheets because copies were expensive and we needed to save our money for jolt.

[tesral]

And we liked it that way.

[Mulsiphix]

I can't help but wonder what kind of "we liked it that way" changes are going to happen in the next 20 years. What right now is going to be awesome and nostalgic twenty years from now. I hope it isn't the internet :o

[GBVenkman]

Just wanted to add that I am 26 and my wife is 22. We both left video gaming behind us over a year ago and have turned to pen and paper gaming for establishing real memories with real people.

I did that a few years ago. In less than half the time I would spend gaming I can now whip up an adventure for a good weekend session. I go out side a lot more too...

[Mulsiphix]

Seriously! Ever since I stopped playing MMO's, RPG's, and FPS's I find I travel outdoors a great deal more. Before I put video games aside my wife was lucky to get me out of the house more than two or three times a week. Working at home has its perks but such addiction can turn even the most outgoing into agoraphobic hermits :rolleyes:

[Dravion]

I'm 26 right now.....age really don't matter with the game...unless the mentality isn't there.

[underdarkshark]

im 36 years young. I game when i can. I always will.

[rabkala]

im 36 years young. I game when i can. I always will.
Good attitude to have! I figure even after I have lost my mind (although this may have already happened) and my body fails me, I will find enjoyment in the game.

[Mulsiphix]

A sign of a true gamer is that gaming is on their mind even when gaming is no longer an option. I hope to be so lucky when that times comes. I hope bearing that curse will be my honor :rolleyes:

[cplmac]

I'll be 42 in a few months. As I see the age ranges of the people who have responded, I now know why there are so many well informed people on this site. What a wealth of knowledge to learn from.

[nijineko]

well well, a group that actually wants to grow up to be fatbeards. ^^ game on!

[Mulsiphix]

Are you kidding me? Fatbeards teh rock :cool:

[tesral]

well well, a group that actually wants to grow up to be fatbeards. ^^ game on!

What do you mean, "want to"? Here's a nickle kid, go buy a real game. ;)

[Mulsiphix]

We've seen your impressive beard tesral. I wonder what somebody wants to be once they grow up to successfully become a fatbeard?

[rabkala]

Fatbeard is a slang term meant to be an insult. I am surprised any would so willingly embrace it. While I may be a gamer, I am far from the stereotypical fat old loser nerd who lives in his parents basement.

[nijineko]

hey, no offense to those honorable forebearers who've actually acheived fatbeard status. ^^ i would have a beard, but work makes me shave it off.

[Skunkape]

You want to know something pretty funny, or at least I think it's funny, my parents live with me! They're in their 80s, so I moved them into my house. Course, since we live in Florida, I don't have a basement to stick them in but, it's still pretty funny!:D

Oh and I look more like a 30 year old biker than either a fat bear geek looser or even a fat biker! Course, I don't have tatoos, but I do own a Harley that I ride about 4 times a week!:)

[tesral]

Fatbeard is a slang term meant to be an insult. I am surprised any would so willingly embrace it. While I may be a gamer, I am far from the stereotypical fat old loser nerd who lives in his parents basement.

"Geek" used to be an insult too. The best way to blunt an insult is to own the term. So I'm a fatbeard. Yes, I have a beard, unrelated to gaming. Forced inactivity has left me on the rontude side. But I'm a homeowner, married (wife games too) Anything but the stereotypical "loser". Fatbeard, grognard, geek, they all fit. The geeks are running the world and the jocks are running the carwash.

[boulet]

Just checked with google what "grognard" means to you guys... Funny how English speakers twist French words into new meanings :)

[Mulsiphix]

Well said tesral. rabkala I was shocked to see you thought so low of fat beards. Being fat, having a beard, and/or living with your parents doesn't make you a loser. Being socially awkward, annoying to be around, never knowing when to shut up or when your embarrassing those around you because of your behavior... these are things stereotypically related to nerds in general. When these traits are present I am as "ewww go away" as the next guy. Generally though, most nerds do not fit this profile.

Thus ends my response to rabkala. The following is my opinion on Stereotypes. Stereotypes are dangerous in my opinion. When embraced as fact or acceptable ideology they are a contagious poison which spreads through ignorant masses resulting in foolish actions; unfounded fear and loathing are never acceptable but seem to be all too common these days. I wear my beard on a fat body proudly. I don't live with my parents but I have in the past. I don't think doing so made me a loser. People should be judged on who they are as a person, not how they appear to those who do not know them. The Holocaust was founded upon stereotypes.

[nijineko]

that's all "english" is. words from other languages, frequently twisted into new meanings, grammatical uses, and conjugations and stuck together with spit, gum, bailing wire, duct tape, and hot glue. real english doesn't resemble anything like what the british, austrailians or americans speak. especially the americans. ^^

don't get me wrong. i like our language. it's flexibility and sheer breadth is a wonderful thing to play with. if rough to learn.

and i've been fat, have had a beard, have lived with both sets of parents (at different times, but not currently! yea!), and am still a pretty allright guy despite it all. fatbeard is losing it's negitive connotations rapidly. much like dork has. try looking up what that originally meant. ;p ^^ yesterdays insult is todays compliment. there's a book at the bookstore i work at that specifically explores that. it's shocking to see how many things that now mean 'cool' or 'acceptable' used to be dire, mortal insults. each generation thinks it's gonna be a rebel.

[Mulsiphix]

ah, don't get me started about those... i had to shave mine along with the beard for work. the wife was very sad. ^^

According to H. Beam Piper, English is the result of Norman men-at-arms trying to get dates with Saxon barmaids.

"English does not borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, hits them on the head and rifles their pockets for loose grammar."

To love a niche is to love disease. To settle and look no further is to admit defeat before your peers. To ignore the voices of truth and justice is to be human. To be human is to be diseased within a niche. The circle of life is ravenously efficient.

I think it loosely hit on the differences between one generation to the next.

[tesral]

"What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." -- Ecclesiastes 1:1-9 KJV.

Yup, it's been going on for a while here.

How did this thread become another "favorite quote" thread ??? :)

[mrken]

It became a favorite quote list because you got a lot of old fogies on here. lol Old people sometimes forget what they are talking about half way through a sentence. My wife calls it partzimers. lol Not that I’m old or anything.

Which reminds me. Someone asked some grade-schoolers how old one had to be to be old. They thought 30 was old. Then they asked high-schoolers how old one was when they were old, 40 was the consensus. That means one is middle aged around 15 to 20. lol Funny how a little more perspective will change ones perspective. Personally speaking, I think 100 is pretty common to live to. In my opinion, 50 is middle aged. :D

[Azaethel]

Good to see I've finally found an rpg community that is around (or slightly over) my age...I recently turned 31 (Jan...so not that recent), have a goatee don't quite qualify as fat and also look like a biker (the chopper will do that. Or some say punk, the down mo-hawk will do that I guess) .

The only quote I particular like on the subject is
"to stop learning is to die"
One day I might bother to look up who said that...

[tesral]

I think 100 is pretty common to live to. In my opinion, 50 is middle aged. :D

I am not middle aged.

[mrken]

Me too. :)

[Farcaster]

I recently did a quick breakout of ages of our members for an interview at RPGx.org. This should give you a pretty good idea of the age ranges here :D

[rabkala]

By the board breakdown, I am past middle aged...
You are only as old as you feel though, so I am about a 915 year old demi lich.

[Farcaster]

I am about a 915 year old demi lich.

[nijineko]

hmmm, that sounds supiciously like that fake demi-lich thingie that we barely managed to smash before it sucked us all into its soul-gems down in that nastily trapped tomb. now we have to track down the real thing in it's fortress in the plane of shadows....

If I remember right, isn't a lich restricted to how far away from it's scull thingie it can go? If so, then it should be within that radius.

Also, am old enough to have the Champions of Krynn computer game. In it, you have to first fight the lich, then try to find and destroy the scull before it recovers.

they were not the real bones of the demi-lich in question, they were a clever and near-perfect magic item duplicate left behind in it's tomb, somehow granted similar powers to a real demi-lich. complete with fake ghost. we now discover that the real entity in question actually has a fortress in the plane of shadow, or negitive energy, and is apparently still there. did i mention that it has a vile, despicable, and nasty sense of humor? the entire tomb was more-or-less a set-up. we suspect that it's sitting in it's fortress, laughing at our stumbling attempts to get through the place....

I for one am glad I found a place with so many venerable gamers. When they're not pissing and moaning about the newfangled editions they're a treasure trove of amusing stories, experience, and creativity.

[Webhead]

Count me in the 27-32 age range...27 actually.

I'm not the youngest in my group, but most of my friends/players are older than me (I've been told I'm an "old soul"). My group's ages are currently: 25 (I think), 27, 33, 34, 38 and 39.

[mrken]

Reclaimer, looks like you are the youngest member here to vote. If my observations are correct, you and I are bookends.

Toss the ball...catch it in the cup...dump it out of the cup...toss it...and catch it in the cup again! The ball is on a string and attached to the cup, so there's no worry if you don't catch the ball in the cup, and clean-up is as easy as catching a ball in a cup! So why spend another day not catching a ball in a cup, when you could be catching a ball in a cup?"

That is exactly me, to a T - playing from the blue box in the mid-70's, now 41 and starting a group after a six-year hiatus. Most of the group are slightly older than me - a couple of years at most - but with much less experience - the most experienced played for a couple of years in college in the early 80's - so 'Old School' AD&D (before we even had 'editions') is new.
