So, a few weeks back, I wrote about how the Fantasy genre has served as the gateway to tabletop roleplaying games for many of us who enjoy the game.

I am 44 years old, and other than a brief two year break for a bad life decision, I’ve played RPGs since 1979.

Does the picture in you mind spring to life of a bunch of pimple faced kids, noses in thick books, rolling dice and moving miniatures around? That’s not the way it was.
