Younger player.

I am 15 and i have always loved tabletop RPGs but i have never had any one to play with.I have been trying to find people online to play with for a while but no one ever wants to really because my age and because i have some stuff i need to learn but i just found this site and was wondering if the community here really cares or not because i really want to play.I am mainly interested in D&D,Warhammer 40k role playing game and the star wars role playing game.

Moved to the LFG forum. - Gauss
Im not looking for a group i was just asking about the co,unity on this website.I listed the games im  interested it to narrow down what kind of games i like.
I dont think the community as a whole cares about age as long as whatever group/games is fun for all.   Some games are for a mature audience and posted sometimes. 
Yamcha, you ca play any game excluding the mature ones. I don't mind, for example, run a game to a younger group. Right now I am even planning to run some superhero and fantasy games. If you are into this genres please don't be shy to ask me to join this games

@ Yamcha, as long as you are up front about your age most gm's don't mind. The age issue comes into play when the content of the game would be consider explicit or mature and is more from the concern of how your parents would react to seeing you playing in a game with said content. My games tend to be pg-13 anyway because I don't like explicit language or mature themes in my games and I'm 3 times your age plus a few years. Look around the LFG listings and when you see any that interest you check them out. Just ask if the game would be suitable for your age and most GM's should let you know.
As Teddy and Metro mentioned, many gamers don't care about age or experience. The internet is the great equalizer, so hopefully tou can find something. One suggestion is to not bring a lot of attention to your age. Saying that you're young right off the hop (15's not what I'd consider "young") could raise a block for some people. Instead, inquire about games like anyone else, then PM the GM to ask about any age concerns. Same goes for inexperience. If you're a new player, just mention it to the GM during recruitment. I don't know if that's the best approach, but it's an approach.

Scooter is right in that aspect about your age. The gm is the one that needs to know your age if there is any concerns. As long as you act mature most if not everyone will accept you at the age you project. The only reason I recommend you being up front about your age is because if there are scenes in the game that are explicit and your parents overhear or read it or find out any which way about that and they don't approve it, you could lose your internet access or worse. This is a touchy area that alot of GM's do not like to deal with and that is why they are so ify about you being in their games because of not knowing what your parents approve or don't approve. I'm a parent with a 12 yr old son and I'm very touchy about what he is allowed and not allowed to watch or do on the net so I know where some parents are coming from when they react a certain way.
