How old is too old to play? Is it odd for a man in his mid 30s

>>53574706
>How old is too old to play?
No such age. Do what you love and fuck the rest.

>Is it odd for a man in his mid 30s to still play with teens?

On the other hand yes this is a bit odd. I don't see why you would want to honestly? Teenagers are immature twats at best.

>>53574706
>playing in your mid-thirties

Dont talk to me or my wife's son ever again.

>>53574729

well if you are still playing 40K and AoS most of the players will be teens/early 20s

>>53574706
Playing in your 30s is a bit odd in the sense that it's rare, but I don't see why it would be bad. Pretty much everyone who was alive to see "old school" roleplaying is about that old or older. At that point though, looking for social interaction with teens is a bit weird.

>>53574706
See you in three years when you are on the news.

>>53574747
My local group as well as a few others tend to be much older than that 30's and 40's. Very few kids. We had one teenager for a while and the guy who runs it son sometimes plays that's about it.

I suppose this differs from area to area and granted I moved onto 30K and don't play AOS (but who does???) , though plenty of 40K players still at the same groups.

>>53574706
Don't get fooled by it, OP. It's a a Jewish conspiracy to make SJWs shame white men into providing for their wive's children from a black man.

>>53574706
You're too old to play when the game interfere with your life noticeably.

>>53574706
>this is her son
hehehe

>>53574706
Keep in mind that these games are old, the hobby is old. There are plenty of people who are 'old' who are still playing these games. For the most part, we don't play with teens, but it does happen. It is mostly by choice we don't play with teens by the way, lot of old stable groups out there.

For me, I play with teens rather often. But that is because it is a family thing. My daughter and the daughter and son of some friends (and my friends, their parents) play in a campaign I run. The campaign was mostly for my daughter, so the other kids ended up joining in.

Most of the gaming I do is with other older adults.

I actually found out a janitor at my college has been running a game with 13 people in it for about 23 years. His group is mostly middle aged

The man's a legend in our tabletop club

>>53574706
I'm 58 years old. I'm not the oldest person in my gaming group.

I'm actually looking forward to when my friends and I are retired. Plenty of time to roll dice.

You're never too old to play. I still play with my dad. I mean for fuck's sake, look how old Gygax and his buddies were when they started. When I took some community college classes to finish my degree, there was this older divorced dude in my class, he was a huge D&D nerd, I should've talked to the guy even though he was ten years older than me we could've hung out. You are NEVER too old to play.

Don't feel guilty just because you resisted the vaginal jew and haven't gotten hitched to a fat sow and squirted out a couple shitspawn who consume your finances and life while your wife stays home reading internet blogs about "discovering herself" (i.e. nigger cock) and before you know it your shit life is even shittier. I know your pain, OP. You watched your friends peel off one by one, like adventurers travelling through a dungeon being picked off by monsters, or the survivors of a zombie apocalypse dying one by one. You lost one to a promising job across the country, another to a woman who dragged him away from the group to do whatever bullshit they do every weekend, another one probably just bored of gaming because he was never a real gamer to begin with. It's hard to watch them go. But you survived to the end, OP. Your passion for the hobby kept you going.

Now playing with teens is a bit weird, if you mean underage kids. There's some Youth Protection type shit in there that would make me uncomfortable. What you want is the early 20s college gaming club. Find the "dudebro" tier gamers (by which I mean the ones who are cool and aren't spergs), they are usually chill with older dudes. Hell, even most of the asperger gamers are pretty friendly.

Keep up the gaming, OP. Don't be ashamed of not being a cuck. Your friends sold out for a depreciating pussy and screaming children who will one day out them a million bucks for a gender studies degree while dying their hair pink and sewing a pigs cock to their pussy. In the meantime you can enjoy yourself.

>>53574706
As far as mtg and warhammer go, I've seen families (mom,dad,kids) enter tournaments together, several greybeards are regulars at fnm and what used to be a games workshop in my area. I'd say the most common age is anywhere between 25 and 45.

>>53574706
This strikes home hard. I'm 27 years old, only started getting interested in shit like D&D at age 21 or so and don't actually have an IRL group to play with. Older groups are usually groups who've been playing for years and simply never stopped. LFG fags are usually youngsters. Like with everything in life, I'm too late to the party. I hate being autistic.

>How old is too old to play?
You're never too old to play.

This definitely seems odd, but it somewhat depends on context. For instance, if they are 18 or 19 years old, that's less odd than if they were 15 or 16. And if you're DMing a group for your nieces, nephews, much younger cousins, whatever, that is much less odd than playing in a game run by a high schooler and titled The Quest for Titties and Beer.

>>53586359
>And if you're DMing a group for your nieces, nephews, much younger cousins, whatever, that is much less odd than playing in a game run by a high schooler and titled The Quest for Titties and Beer.
5e ruined Quest for Titties and Beer. They completely changed the underlying cosmology, and nerfed the death traps and logical puzzles to the point where it's nothing but a boring monster grind. I'd tell you to play the original, but since it's downright impossible to find these days, your best option is probably to play something else entirely. I suggest F2, In Search of Bitches, but the entire Titty Witch series is pretty good too.

>>53574706
Never too old

A little, but that happens in most hobbies. My brother is in his early teens and flies model planes with older people. It's just a new generation being taught by a more experienced generation.

Weird to play with kids unless it's a situation like that one anon who runs it for his kids and all.

And it depends on the game. Is it a pen and paper rpg? No age. Miniature wargame? 20s at oldest. Traditional games (cards, chess/variants, checkers, etc.)? No age limit.

>>53574982
Thats really cool. Your a cool dad.

>>53574706

Speaking as a high school teacher, yes, this is pretty fucking weird. Unless they're maybe 18 or 19, then it's not so odd.

>>53587927
Your parents, and their parents and their ancestors before them each struggled and fought to raise kids. If you don't carry on your lineage you have failed the work and sacrifice of untold generations, anon. They all struggled to make it possible for you, you specifically, to exist, and you'd let all that work go to waste?

>>53587969
Yes. Fuck my ancestors.

>>53587969

If the only reason my parents had me is to be a vessel to pass on their genes then they can go fuck themselves. And I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

>>53588897
>only thing that can possibly mean anything are the choices you make for the sake of yourself because in the end the only real impact you have in the universe is yourself.
That seems like a pretty narrow view. You certainly have the power to make an impact on other people in your life as well.

>>53588987
thats nice and all, but in the view of the entire universe it means nothing.
>why do we exist?
to pass on genes so that they may exist to pass on genes and so on. existing for the sole purpose of perpetuating existence is meaningless. there is no difference between existing and not existing in the cosmic view of things.

>>53589064
But you don't watch the world from the cosmic view of things, you watch it here and now. It sounds to me that you're making up excuses for your own failings, anon.

>>53587969
m8, soon there will be 9 billion people on this planet. Our duty is to stop this madness.

>>53587969
This logic is stupid. Several of the people in all of our lineages just wanted a quick screw, and several of them managed to scrape by and survive just because they had no choice. Our ancestry is meaningless, and of no intrinsic worth.

>>53588835
>Duty

The cosmos is fascinating, but the entire universe's view of things is about as relevant to me as I am to it. Other people are what I have to interact with every day.

A thousand times this. Never give up your passions for the sake of 'growing up.' That shit is over-fucking-rated. I'm by far the happiest of the small group of people I've kept in contact with.

I think the word you're looking for is "axiomatic". Redundancy is maintaining multiple copies of a thing even though maximum efficiency can be achieved with fewer of those things, in case one of them fails.

>>53589218

If you also are of european ancestry (what you reduce to "light skin"), then yes you literally do have something in common.

>They all struggled to make it possible for you, you specifically, to exist
No, they didn't. The last two generations of my family all had kids by accident, because they were too poor to afford condoms. Taking the barest minimum of responsibility for your offspring is the least you can ask for, although I would have preferred it if they got an abortion.

>>53589346
>you literally do have something in common.
Nothing that matters.

>>53589586
A lot of women are legit like that. That's no reason to generalize about the entire gender, but they do exist and they are common.

>>53574706
It feels like it to me but then I don't play at all as a result.

Wouldn't mind trying to get my friends now in to playing board games but it's a bit of an ask even though they're all from a video gaming background. I don't know what games to start them on, most stuff is either too complex and they'll get frustrated or too simple and they'll get bored.

>>53590507
Your mom being like that does not mean they are common.

>>53587815
Oh really?

I’ve done my math. While I won’t inherit shit anyhting untill I am in my 60’s, my young half sister will get her share of inheritance just as she graduates university! Why the fuck would I want my children to live the life of hardships I have to face!?

>>53590630
Don't worry, your kids won't have anything to inherit anyway. The destruction of the middle class will be complete.

my babysitter and her husband were classic D&D fans that started in school at some point and had been playing their whole lives. i think i was 7 or so when i was first introduced to the game. they used the AD&D rule books. honestly cant recall if it was 2e or not.

i can say with certainty those D&D sessions, although the rules were extremely lenient since we were kids, are the main reason i ever got into D&D and high fantasy at all. even though they shunned me like a leper when i brought 3.5 books over one day

I when I was about 17 mostly played tabletop with 60+ year old lawyers with no real issues. Just depends on the people you find to play with I guess.

>>53574706
Whenever you feel like you are too old to deal with it I guess. If a game group can last long enough for everyone to be in their 60s minimal with no issues I don't really see anything outside of a personal reason why there would be a limit.

Where I used to work a bunch of the upper management played DnD.

They couldn't have been younger than late 30s/early 40s

Looks like the same old, same old. Article designed around making women feel special and unique and explain why it's not at all their fault no one is interested in dealing with them on a day to day basis.

When I was getting an oil change, this mid 50's guy saw the d10 in my car and commented about how "Ah man, is that a d10? I used to play d&d you know. I remember playing for about a year before they introduced the d10. It was no neat to start using all kinds of funky dice in it."

He was saying he's been starting to sell some of his old d&d stuff though on ebay. Should I see about buying some of it off him? And what time can we guestimate for when he was playing?

>>53595060
He was playing during the time the dinosaur's used to walk the earth. Good god man.

>>53595142
It had to have been some time during 0e right? I'd estimate mid-50's since he was a whitebeard and he referred to it as something he played from his teens to early 20's.

>>53595199
My dad started playing dungeons and dragons back when he was 14 in like 1984 or so some shit and he knew about D10s back then. This guy was either in odd area or a little older then you think.

>>53574706
I mean, why would you want to?
You could have better things to do, like be with your loving family, going on vacations, unless you're America-
Oh, wait.

>>53574729
I'd say that older teens (16+) who realise they're immature twats and don't act pretentious or 'mature' are fine, as long as they're decent players.

>>53574706

>>53595689
>don't act pretentious

You are talking about roleplayers anon. Every single one of them no matter their age will act pretentious as all hell. If they didn't they wouldn't want to advertise their bullshit by roleplaying fake lives.

>>53574706
Depends what you're playing. Tabletop wargames take up a lot of time and money from painting andcollecting miniatures, so you're 'too old' for them once you start a family. You're never too old for rpgs or card games (although I guess you might want to stick to casual mtg once you've got a family, since you won't want to spend the same as professional players do).

>>53595780
Not necessarily. We don't know if OPs a roleplayer, a wargamer, a boardgamer or something else. Most roleplayers are pretentious though, I'll give you that.

>>53574706
>How old is too old to play?
Around the time you decide it's time to give up on your independent desires and passions, so that you can focus fully on being a wage slave like a good boy.

As others have posted, it depends on context, but if your instincts are telling you "there's something wrong here" there probably is.

>Hosting teenagers in your home for gaming
Don't do this. Questions will be raised. Accusations of sex, drugs and rock & roll will ensue. You'll wind up on some sort of registry.

>Hosting games at the local game store
Acceptable. A mature, adult gamer showing leadership and attention to younger people who could use some structure to a fun activity. Lends some legitimacy to the store as well

>Attending games in some teenager's home
No. Parents like to know who their kids and teens are hanging out with, and they are hyper-aware of sex, drugs and rock & roll. Imagine the awkward handshakes as you are introduced to their parents. This is not your world.

>Gaming as a hobby "I'm into strategy games to unwind on the weekends."
You sound like a mature adult who is working on his education and career and amuses himself with a relatively unknown hobby (to the mainstream)

>"I'm a gamer. I like roleplaying games. Hennnnhhh!!!"
You're an unwashed manchild who is fascinated by japanese cartoons and who lives in a fantasy world. No one wants you near their children, let alone themselves. You might make their teenage kids feel better about themselves by contrast, but no doubt you'll snap one day and shatter their confidence in the adult world by showing them how low humanity can go if individuals are left to their vices. You're probably a chronic masturbator as well, or even a cosplayer.

>>53574706
You can play with college kids up to any age.

But teens are a bit odd

It depends on what your playing, most of my 40K group is upwards of 30 with most of them in there early 30's to 60's. So i don't think anyone is too old to be playing games.

>>53574706

When I was a teenage, I played with a group where the youngest person besides myself was in their late 20s, and the oldest was on the the far edge of middle age. To this day, they were the best group I have ever been a part of.

>>53598768
This sounds suspiciously close to an unfortunate branch of my family, but none of the kids are remotely close to old enough to be making posts this coherent. Maybe the one that doesn't have the marine for their dad, but that's still underageb& territory.

>>53574706
My 1st campaign was me when I was 13, my brother who was 17, a guy in his early 30s, and his Mom who was around 50. Oddly enough, even though I was youngest I ended up being the DM most of the time.

Aside from the guy's mom not quite getting the rules and playing the "uptight paladin" thing painfully straight, it was pretty good.

Why can't you do that without the 'kind of creepy' part? Just be cool fullstop

The beauty is that when you're older, you get to play with other adults. The games get better.

They did stuff that resulted in us being born. There's no contractual obligation without mutual consent, and I sure didn't sign jack shit. Don't know about you.

Who remembers Einstein or Mozart? Everyone.
Who remembers their parents or their descendents? No-one.

It's what you do with the time you've been given that matters. The world has plenty of worthless people thanks to those whose only accomplishment in life was to breed. No-one ever said of a man, "Gee that guy had good genes. He sure passed them on well."

Games keep us forever young. As normies get older, they lose that flame, that passion. We gamers never age. We never lose that flame. Never too old for games.

This reads like something Quentin would write. Also it stinks of upper middle class sheltered fuckboy. Kids where I live get away with doing hard drugs, I'm sure their parents won't mind them playing innocent games with some 35 year old

How else am I going to find teenage girls?

How's that pokyman going? You catched them all yet?

My first real GM was late thirties and played with a 16 y/o who browses TG, a 21 y/o and a 23 y/o. So no, it's not too old to play.

Redundant works, other humans are multiple copies and humanity would work much more efficient with less of us

Teens aren't children and tabletop rpg's are pretty much the antithesis of having sex so I'm not really understanding your comparison.

You're right, my ancestors all the way back to the first bit of sludge that learned to eat and shit fought to pass on their genes to ultimately create me. And now it can be over, I'm here now, evolution succeeded, we did it guys, we made a perfect specimen. There's no need to bother making anything after me.

>Is it odd for a man in his mid 30s to still play with teens?
Yes.

It basically mean there is something seriously wrong with you. Not because you are playing games, or because you are playing with minors, but because you have nobody of your own age group to play with. Which either means you don't have friends sharing your hobbies (which is weird and highly unlikely) or you've just barely entered the hobby (which I doubt).

Bottom line - you are some kind of freak.

>>53587969
I also come from a lineage of librarians and distant dads, I don't need to continue those traditions either.

I pay bills, work, and live on my own. I'm my own person and make my own choices. I'm not trying to be a slave to someone else's idea of success. I do what I want with my life.

The group I run for consists of myself (23) and 3 people in their early 20's and one persons dad who is 63. We taught him how to play when he retired. He loves it and is one of the best players.

No age restrictions, if you enjoy the game and enjoy the company of the other players theres no reason you couldnt play.

We also just introduced my Grandfather (84) to the game, and while hes slow to pick things up, he loves it.

Anyone who makes the distinction between pedophilia and ephebophilia is always a creep. Every single time, it's an escape tactic

Never too old. My current gaming group has:

guy and girl 19 years old
two guys in their mid-20s
three guys in their late 20s
one mid-30s
one 49 year old

And we get along really well.

Not him, but I'm pretty sure a guy can masturbate in public, and people won't blink an eye as long as he's not breaking social contract.
I'm just saying, what matters is not what you do, but how you present it.
You can afford to play 3DS in public, if the circumstances around you are appropriate. If you are not going full retard regarding games, then you are perfectly fine playing them in public.

tl;dr You can get away with what would normally be frowned upon by the society if you establish proper context. That's not rocket science, yknow.

I'm 23 and was DM for a bunch of old coworkers who were 24,28,32 and 40.

It's not that weird.
