"Current age of D&D Players?" Topic

If you are currently playing D&D on a semi-regular basis (or were before the 'Rona), what age range do you fall into?

15-20
21-29
30-39
40-49
50-59
60-and beyond.

Thanks!

I played regularly between ages 11-14, my middle school years 6, 7 , and 8th grade; then my older brother went off to college.

30-39
We play weekly, over Roll20.

50-59
Play weekly and biweekly (two different groups), via Slack, Discord and Roll20.
Slack's great, Discord is okay, Roll20 is buggy.

I belong to a group that has known each other since junior high and still plays bi-weekly. Age 50-59 (although we have the son of one of the players who is a young whippersnapper at 27!).

60+

40 to 49. My kids 13, 15, and 19 also play. It might be worth considering that a bunch of wargamers might tend to be a bit on the greyer side of the RPG equation. :)

Fifties. Run a campaign and playing in 2 others.

50 to 59

At 52, I'm trying to get back in after having last played when I was about 12.

I'm envious of those who have weekly games going. Kudos to those older Gamers still playing as well.

60+

Not a regular player but we do one off scenarios from time to time. 50 to 59.

54

I very rarely play these days but am supporting my girl friend's son who is DMing his second campaign and is 12.

50-59, while my players are 30-59, with two of my sons playing in my group (wife used to, but now she watches a grandchild so his father can play…). Been playing since I was 15, and my sons have been playing since they turned 13 (family rule: must be 13 to play). My two sons are playing some of their first characters still, some 20 years later!

D&D makes a great family game which can keep everybody actively involved in each other's lives, beyond the normal, mundane stuff. It gives us very fun reasons to get together, and spend time together. Cheers!

I played once in 1977 and figured out it was not for me. On the other hand, my 35 year old son not only is a regular player, he has figured out how to get paid for being a DM. Sweet…

So for him, I'll answer 30-39.

50-59, however I was all the other age groups leading up to that and one before 15.

47

50-59 range

60+, but only an occasional player these days.

My current group, (six-eight players) run in ages from 22 into the late 50's…a good mix of young and old, and it keeps the game interesting.

58. Other players in my group are about 5 years younger.

60+ been playing with my brother since 1977.

Unfortunately polling on this site will get you a slightly older demographic.
I played in High School and collage. Every now and then after that.

Had my first game at 57, with my grandchildren aged 7 & 9. had a blast as i played a warrior/fighter who was most likely a 1st cousin of the 3 Stooges

Still 50-59, but in a slightly different position than my previous answer … that's the problem with age …

This is eye opening for me. Had no idea, I thought most people quit at 14 or so. I never played until I was a Scout Executive in my 20s. The camp councilors were playing and they ask me to play. Up to then I was strictly a historical board gamer. I was bored and played one game. They were surprised at how aggressive I played. I was still bored. Haven't played since.

I would assume that the average age of Dnd Players would be around 15-30, but most on this board responding would be 50+ which is that catagory I fit in, and I have recently resumed playing Ad&d 1st ed. with my children.

I quit in my mid/late 20 due to many moves, of myself and those I played with. But realistically, my playing time drastically decreased when I went to college do to time constraints.

Collecting, painting miniatures, 3d printing ect, ie those who read or post on these forums, to any scale takes finances that I didnt have when I was younger, and I assume many others would say the same.
