“Tabletop” refers to traditional tabletop board and card games like Euchre, Chess, or Settlers of Catan. “P&P” refers to “pen and paper” roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons, GURPs, or Dogs in the Vineyard. “Sports” refers to traditional real-life sports rather than videogames about these sports. Age is included as a covariate, and its regression coefficients are not standardized.
