[QUOTE="nyrickgrant, post: 1898359, member: 26779"] An experienced player probably would have found the evening less than exciting and so I thank my good friend Steveroo for giving his time and experience to a good cause. I had a great time. When we first started playing the game (oh no, here he goes launching into the walking to school in the snow stories), roleplaying was just that: playing a role in a game of high adventure. Today, my kids are into Pokemon and YuGiOh and Magic the Gathering. This isn't role playing. And I know the good gamers on this forum have beat that horse to glue by now. But getting us all back to the glory days of real role playing takes some hard work. We have to get out there and show these kids what it means to strap on a fighter's armor and serve your lord in the face of near certain defeat, to smile death in the face and ask for a second serving when half of the party is out of commission and your rogue is rolling 1s. It requires real courage to take on the persona of a cavalier when your friends are nursing 5th level characters that they've developed over months of careful gaming. Like meditation, this isn't something you want to step into without a good guide. So, thank you, Steverooo. You gave my kids an excellent introduction into the game. You're professionalism has allowed them to see beneath the veil of dice and miniatures and into the reality of the game, even my 7-year-old (it took a while for it to seep into him). They've already asked for D&D-related stuff for Christmas. I have high hopes that they will have a better understanding of what it really means to be a hero as they continue to grow up. Heck, it didn't hurt us any. Well, not much. To all of you out there still gaming in the noble tradition of the early RPGers: introduce the game to a youngster and keep the adventure alive!
