I asked this question via an online search today and I found this cute video of a gal teaching her parents how to play D&D. She does a great job instructing and making it fun for an older generation. I’m considering learning how to play the game myself as I enjoy video games with similar fantasy type stories.

You're never too old for D&D.

Spoken from the point of veiw of a Level 3 Berserker.Which spell casting abilities,and over 1000 hit points acquired.

I’ve always wanted to play but never had anyone to play it with.

:D That is awesome to know. As a member of gen X, we still know enough about science fiction and fantasy to participate in group gaming like that. The creativity, imagination, collaboration and mental stimulation is something I crave.

D&D is very cerebral, isn’t it? I really like the character immersion and the team collaboration of storytelling.

A hybrid! A Berserker with spell casting abilities sounds awesome! And healing potions just in case.

I had 11 different toons in my favorite video game. One of them was a dual-blade Berserker. Epic fun. :D

Well, if I’m unable to find one locally I’ll try to create one. It’s great to know that there is interest.
