Back in the old days, when the internet was new and shiny, and people met on places called bulletin boards, OhioSMART didn’t have a newfangled, decked out dungeon space. We met in bars. So we set the minimum age requirement at 21.

It made sense then. It doesn’t anymore.

The past 20 plus years have brought a lot of changes. New venues, new leadership, and new demographics. We’ve embraced those changes, and now it’s time for another one.

At our December Town Hall meeting, membership overwhelmingly agreed to lower the minimum membership age to 19! And we couldn’t be more excited. We look forward to fresh faces, new ideas, and different perspectives.

Please welcome these new members with us and make them feel at home.
