My name is Steve, but I prefer to be named after one of Lord Foul's Giant Ravers and Kinslaughterer is a bit over the top.

Mid (yikes! LATE) 30s, live in SF the bluest part of the country (well, OK, Berkeley is bluer but they are all students so it is hardly fair.)  

Gamed (D&D) as a teenager and then took too many years off.  Started again 11 years ago and it has (almost) taken over my life.  I almost always DM and recently started DMing games for the RPGA.

I have two great gaming groups so I am pretty damn spoiled.  However, all 12 players want only to play D&D even though there is so much out there.  So I am working on them, but it is an uphill battle.

I have been trying to get my group to try new things for over a year now, with no luck.  I even suggested that we occasionally try new things when we don't have a quorom to play our 'serious' game, and they voted to just skip those weeks instead!  Aaarrggghhh...

My group's biggest counter-argument is "We just want to stick to one character to really develop him/her/it" which has a whiff of BS about it because they fall into character personality ruts easier than I fall into villain/plotline ruts.  When a player's shifter barbarian is indistiguishable from his previous ascetic monk, something needs to break the mold.

Anyway, any suggestions from someone who has had a resistant group and yet somehow managed to talk them into trying something new, please share.
