Psychic powers are more believable than something ignoring the square cube law.

Alrighty then, this place ought to have some RPG players

>Fuck me why.jpg

I just want to play RPGs /tg/ but life keeps getting in the way. What makes it even harder is the fact that I am 18, most RPG players are old as fuck so they don't want to hang around some kid anyways.

Damn. Anyone else in a similar predicament?

Maybe you should just give in and get a anal plug.

two things: One, don't assume that playing RPGs in real life is going to magically be more reliable than doing it online. It's a little better, sure, but most of the same complications apply, and the second session mortality rate for games is high.

Two, don't let a single instance of anal plug conversation set the entire tone of your relation with those dorks. Sometimes conversations go weird places, we are all guilty. If it becomes a consistent pattern then you have every right to run screaming in the other direction though.
And don't be too self-conscious about the age difference. It is a bigger deal to you than it is to them. Once a gamer clears collage, they generally decide not to give a fuck how old their friends are as long as they speak the same culture.

You hang out at TGChan (or any Chan really) and get upset that the players were talking about thins like anal plugs?

Have you actually talked to them and tried out a game? Just because they're 30, fat and talk about plugs doesn't mean that they aren't fun people to be around. Try it first with an open mind (because you can easily decide your not going to have fun before hand) you might find that they have fun and challenging sessions and aren't so bad to be around.

Protip: If you start refusing to play with people because they are outside your normal demographic for friend or are even a little creepy or weird during the game you'll miss out on a lot of fun games.

Where by "fun" you mean "unpleasant and uncomfortable".

Since life isn't a comedy film full of hi-lariously contrived situations which foster long sequences of misunderstandings, chances are that if someone's a creepy fuck when you first encounter them, they're going to be a creepy fuck weeks later when they're telling you all about their sexual fetishes. Again.

(More pressingly, I have a fairly hefty sense of copypasta deja vu, "/tg/".)
