Are We Old?
Not Sure wrote: Older than BGG, younger than CSW. That's the F:AT demographic. (angrier than BGG, less angry than CSW also works).
I definitely think age is a factor, just based on what games were popular at formative times of your life. Not the sole factor, as there are plenty of cube-pushers in their 40s.
Agree.
My thought with F:AT is that most ameritrashers who are younger than us (I'm 36) do Reddit or something like that. So in addition to being an insular community of insiders, I also think that most younger people who love rolling dice and cutthroat games use something different than BGG AND forums.
Also, I'm 36.

I also agree with Gary that most of the younger people I talk to about games are more likely to use Reddit. It probably doesn't help that BGG looks like something out of the '90s. It's not CSW bad, but damn is BGG fugly.

I did play Warhammer and Warmachine prior to board games, so I’m probably predisposed to direct conflict and chromed out stuff.
Maybe if I’d use reddit if I understood how it worked.

Been running a game night at my shop, and the distribution is like... multi-modal. I usually got one kids' table with some young'uns aged 7-10, and then their parents are somewhere, and they're like 40, and then there's the guys who come to play RPGs or MtG on other days that are all in the 18-23 range... except for the ones in that same Starfinder group that are 28-34 probably. A big part of my goal, especially on that wednesday game night is to make soccer moms and kids/teens feel comfortable and wanted.
I got married in December and she came with a 7 year old, so I'm getting older in Dad years. A lot of my college buddies who got married sooner have kids who are younger. I feel like I've matured exponentially in the last 18 months. I can hardly relate to my old (i mean young) friends anymore, especially the unmarried/childless ones.

I wanted knights and barbarians and dragons and stuff. Basically as soon as I saw the Elmore cover of the Red box, it was everything I’d ever wanted. When my parents banned it due to Satan, that just made me want it more.
My family got an Atari 2600 in 1979. It was fun, and I loved arcade games too, but they never had as much fun or promise as D&D. Other than a Street Fighter phase, video games have never been much more than time-wasters for me.
It also helps that I’m not super-competitive. I don’t especially care if I lose as long as the game was fun. So losing due to a bad die roll doesn’t bother me the way it would some hyper-analytical must-win player.
