Poll: Average age of players in your group.

[Wisconsin Wookie]

Well, it sounds like we are finally getting the old group back together for some Star Wars D6. It has been a LONG time since we played regularly and we are all a LOT older now. Just curious what the average age is of those still playing in your games. (Maybe I just want to convince myself that I'm not too old, )

My group:

Me 35
Players:
14 (Only when I GM)
17
21
33 (Other GM in our group)
42
46 (Rarely is able to join us. 3-4 times a year)

Average age, . . . just under 30.

Every great once in a while, I'm able to get my wife to join us. Her age is 32 and would bump our average age up to a firm 30.

And for whatever its worth: Two of our players are girls.

My group is average of 30s. I will not allow anyone under 18 in the group at my house unless a parent plays in the group, and if then, 16 is the cut off. Sorry, I don't want young kids... I like to relax and not worry about life when playing... Or watch what I say or act because some guy thought it was cute to involve his 8 year old.

In my case, both of the younger players are the children of the oldest in the group. Both have grown up around roleplaying and are both experienced gamers (The oldest has been gaming regularly since he was 9).

With that said, one of our players has a 6 year old son. There has been a little discussion about letting him join us. Everyone had agreed to let him play the next time we run a one-shot story before we pass judgement. I personally dont have a problem with younger players so long as, 1. The parent and/or person who brings them into the group helps them along, 2. They can stay focused on the game, and 3. They aren't disruptive to the game. But then again, I expect those things from ALL of my players.

My group that I played SW with would be averaging about 30 now, with me, at 33 being the oldest. I haven't played Star Wars in a while though
My Pathfinder gaming group, probably averages closer to 40, with my wife (being 2days younger than I) being the youngest.

My group has typically aged with me- a pack of 11-13 year olds, then 16-18 year olds (who had to let the 12 year old brother play by parental mandate)- now, I'm 27, with a (now-departing) 24-year-old, 3 players in the 25-28 range (not sure of the exact age) and one in the mid-to-late 30s. Of course, most are family (including the oldest and youngest siblings acounting for the high and low of the range) and spouses, so the sampling may not be as random of 'interested peer'-based as others'.

Hard core OT, all the way!

My gaming group today definitely falls within the 20-30 category. I'm the oldest, on the cusp of turning 30, with the bulk around 5 years younger. Only one player sporadically remains from my original SW RPG group from high school, and he is about 6 months younger than me.

For a number of years I went without any group to play with. My current is one I started myself shortly after heading to university. It has been quite an experience breaking in a whole new group of players who had never done a table top RPG before meeting me; A lot of what I had taken for granted, is a entirely new experience to them.

[Wisconsin Wookie]

Thanks for all the replies. My group all range from 30-34 and like many of you, we started in the 13-17 range.

Now that we are older, it seems like interest has waned a bit for some. How do you get that back?

[Fallon Kell]

[ZzaphodD]

30-40.
But only one player below 35 (at 31) and most just below 40..

39,5 on average I'd guess...
