I'm Still Concerned I Might be too Old to Play D&D
Manage episode 485685711 series 3618561
In this episode of RPG Blokes, hosts Mark, Jon, Stephen, and Barry explore the often-overlooked topic of age in tabletop gaming, challenging the idea that Dungeons & Dragons is just for the young. They share their own stories of entering or re-entering the hobby later in life and celebrate the richness older players bring to the table.
The conversation highlights the camaraderie, creativity, and connection found in RPGs—regardless of age—and how mature players often add depth, patience, and humour to any game. The hosts reflect on the evolving RPG community, noting the growing number of older newcomers and the welcoming spirit of most tables.
They also offer practical tips for anyone feeling hesitant about jumping in, from starting with actual-play videos to finding inclusive local groups. Whether you’re a returning adventurer or picking up dice for the first time in decades, this episode reminds you that it’s never too late to find magic in storytelling and shared imagination.
