Read part 1 of my report about GaryCon in March 2015 at https://wmusswtwbf.wordpress.com/tag/garycon-2015/

EDIT:  Corrected link

Were there any younger people there? In particular, younger people who weren't the kids of older attendees?

Great question!  There were a number of women both gaming and not, and a number of under-18 gamers.  I had two young men of 12 in my OD&D game and they enjoyed it.  They were there with the father of one of them, but he was there as an adult presence, not a gamer.

And the next day I sat down with one of the young men and spent about an hour answering his questions on how I thought one should referee.

I don't have exact numbers of young attendees, but there was a considerable non-grey-haired presence, and a noticeable nonzero number of under-18 gamers.

Sometime in the next couple days I'll ask if there's any demographic data over at the GaryCon web site.

That's good to know, thanks!
