Average age of a BRP player?

[Shaira]

Seconded the idea that there are going to be few people on this forum who don't know BRP from its previous incarnations, which pretty much skews the age stats. Likewise the fact that game hasn't actually been *published* yet.

Once published, though, exposure and marketing determines take up. On the plus side, Chaosium has a record for high quality product which will probably persuade plenty of FLGS to stock copies of the rules straight off - then after that it's killer settings, sourcebooks, scenarios - which Chaosium have a track record for with high production values - and probably a cool and updated online presence with lots of artwork, chrome and freebies (scenarios, critters, fanfiction, "map of the month", "houserule corner", what have you). Naturally a heckuva lot depends on how Chaosium address licensing, fanzines, etc - hopefully with a light enough touch to get plenty of material out there amongst fans.

I'm optimistic that Chaosium are showing clear support for BRP - not only are the rules well under way to 1st ed, we also have by my count 4 (5?) or so official settings and sourcebooks already in the works and a consequential number of fan products also in the offing.

Damn right we'll need to get some accessible intro scenarios out there though. "Son of Apple Lane", anyone?

Cheers,

Sarah

They're probably out doing youngstery things like getting drunk, chasing girls and playing videogames.

It's only old farts who need to log onto forums to escape their drab and dreary lives.

What about us really eccentric, young folk? I proudly represent 2.5 percent of this community (as of this post, anyways).

EDIT: Ah, there may be hope yet. There are some people actually in their TEENS that still play BRP. Woo!

In the RQ goup I'm currently playig with, the youngest is 11 and the oldest (me) is 41. Everything else is in between (average around 30). And we have a CoC group with an average age of 25.
