Do seniors play Dungeons and Dragons in retirement homes?

1 Answer

Answer :

It is conceivable that resident retirement communities could play role playing games. You can become a resident when you turn 55 (one resident in the apartment or cottage must be at least 55)—some are getting fairly youngish residents for retirement communities. Residents at retirement communities are not confined to their retirement community, either. So even if you couldn’t find enough people interested there, you could probably find people elsewhere. I’d welcome playing role playing gams in a retirement community, as there is plenty of time and lots of spaces. The social dynamics I see, support a lot of interests.
