What's RP?

I think children develop vastly differently from each other, maybe some others wouldn't have been doing "RP" until they were 17?

What if you were early?

I remember when I was 14-15 I wanted to play games and "hide and seek", whilst some of my friends had started enjoying sitting down and just talking, how boring.

"hide and seek" at 15 - that's highly unusual

So are Nerf guns at the office.

We still played hide-and-seek at that age, but we would rebrand/reframe it in terms of a wargame with a name like "manhunt." This was decades ago though.

I haven't seen kids playing outside in about as long.

Oops the exact age wasn't meant to be taken literally, maybe I was 13 (was long ago). And wasn't hide and seek either (but other a bit childish things)

RP = Role Play

Aha, I thought that was RPG but maybe that means computer games
