Will you still be playing DnD when you are 70 years old?

I will. I bet mini's will be super cool then..

(assuming I am still alive.)


Me? Learn some new thing to take up my time? Hardly. D&D for life!


Hell yeah! (Or at least RPGs.) Hopefully someone will have started the Grognard Hall for the Terminal Gamer....


I dont think I will live that long. If VTT continues, I think I will be playing


I certainly hope that I have the mental and physical capacity to do so should I be fortunate enough to live that long.


Hell yes! I can irritate the young whipper-snappers with tales of my character's daring exploits.


Them danged Dehnjahns an' Drahgahns hahters'll pryh them Dehnjahns an' Drahgahns bahks from mah cahld, deahd fahngeres!
HEY! You danged kids! Get outta mah yard!
...blahsted meddlin' kids...

"What? Your character killed a dragon? Why, When I was your age, I killed a hundred dragons without breakin' a sweat!"

"Um, wow, that's great, bye--"
"An' we didn't have any of these new-fangled 'd20's either! We had ta use our bare hands!"
"Um, great, can I go now?"
"...An' we had to fight without our eyes, too! Yessiree, we had ta be blindfolded back then an' we liked it! Why, I bet you dang kids could never pull that off! an' we had ta fight the dragons in real life, too! Why, back then..."


What edition will they be on 40 years from now? 13e is gonna be great!


I hope to be able to still have the faculties to game at that point, regardless of edition, game, or whether I have to jack into Shodan to play.

Fakey, where's our Gamer Retirement Community? :P

If I'm alive to see my 70th brthday, I'll be very surprised.


yes, and other games to even if I need a cute young thing to roll my dice for me and tell me the number :)but hey, I would like that now :) and I still dream about our retirement communtity thread from time to time :)

Who knows? That is in over 30 years time. We could be disembodied brains in jars by then.

What do you mean "By Then"?


It'll be nice to eventually see a much naughtier version of D&D by then. Something to really keep the spice flowing, as it were. Adventures like, who can pull off the panty raid in the Baron's Keep, or who can find the right key to unlock Lady Lushuss' chastity belt of devouring. I just hope either I'll be able to have strong enough glasses by then to still see all of the centerfold handouts.

Paizo retirement home -- I am so there (far sooner than I would probably like).


Ask me again in 3 days and three years. 0:)


Not a chance. I'll be devoting my time to wild geriatric sex atop charging elephant back. In the future it's a competative sport, don'tcha know, and trying to keep your rhythm steady through the steeplechase section is much harder than one might imagine.

I might be able to fit in some D&D in my ambitions to become a dirty old man someday.

Dirty old men always seem to be enjoying themselves...

(good to see you around btw, don't think I've posted in response to you in a while. You should come join the paizo chat going on right now)


With any luck I will be. Of course that would mean my DM would be 83 so we'll see how it goes.


I've been playing for 29 years, what's another 30?

I keep screwin' up the damn Powerball numbers! Soon as I get them right the D&D town will begin construction with "The Elder Evil's Nursing and Gaming Center" listed as the 4th Town project, after the new Paizo Corporate Branch, the Community Center, and the Bizarre Bazaar (the downtown themed "mall").

Still top o' the list, babe.

Name of town: Hommlet. (Duh. :P )

Once residents get to retirement age, can we be called a Great Old One? :P And I'd like to put in my land reservations for Madame Jezebel's Bath House and the Inn of the Black Dragon.

I am Fifty now and have been playing for 25 years. I figure what is another 20 at this point. Of course I will be playing...

I'm so moving to that town.

I reckon I'll be powerful enough by then to preside over the Temple of Elemental Evilturnips.

Come by sunday for services.

I'm certainly planning to be a gamer when I'm retired. Suppose we'll all have groups at our "rest homes"?


With the way comupter technology is advancing, D&D Virtual reality will be here when I'm sixty four, the beast will be in power and evil shall running amok.

Oh! Hell! Yeah!

My wife and I have talked about this a couple of times... We can't wait to go into some sort of retierment home. We plan to make it like being in the dorms at college again. We will put our reservation in now. And well keep room in the pantry for one brain-jarred Paizoan at no charge (I choose Sebastian so I can stick him in the oven and see if I can cook his '9s').

And can I put in my reservation now for Yuggoth Dr.? I want to be the Fun Guy from there.


It'll make house rules a heck of an interesting thing, that's for sure...playing at 70...

Yeah, I hope I will be.

I don't expect to live that long (pacemaker will help, but it doesn't fix everything), so unless I can get that fully cybernetic body I'm praying for: no, I don't think I will be playing D&D in 2054. Alas.

Only if I get to be completely hawt. ;)


I really can't answer that. I'm almost 50 now, I was into original D&D and AD&D in college in the '70's. I dropped it when 2E came out, and became involved instead with M:tG. When 3E came out, I came back. Now, I have too much invested in 3E material to be thrilled with the prospect of 4E.
Additionally, now that my kids are almost all grown-up (only 1 left at home, and she will be off to college next year), and my business demands have grown too great, I never really have time to actually PLAY anymore anyways.

That's unfortunate.


Only 70? If I live that long, yeah. I might not be playing it with other people, but I'll still be playing it. I'll be that guy you're afraid of on the street corner mumbling to himself. Well, you see, he's not really mumbling to himself, he's calculating his hit chances. :D

Well, I am 70! Want to fight!!

I expect to live to 150.


Heh. I might move to Hommlet then, if we can manage to have it built by then. It will be 33 years of gaming up until then - considering that I have 23 behind me, that is quite something to look forward to :-)

So, did I answer the original question indirectly enough?

There is a huge boom in assisted living right now (baby boomers) and in 20 years or so I imagine there will be a lot of empty buildings for cheap.

I plan to live to my eleventy-first birthday and when I do you will all be invited to the large oak for a party with food, fireworks, food, stories, food, gaming, and food. Plus maybe one final vanishing act before I go to visit old friends in the lonely mountain and the elven city.


&0?Hell yes I'm in. Then I can go back to playing ling marathons in the nursing home. That is when I will probably get to finally play through AOW or Savage Tide.

Oh, that's so cliche.
