[QUOTE="Mad_Jack, post: 6973158, member: 6750306"] I learned when I was eight... Which meant that my brother was [B]6 1/2[/B], lol - his friend's older brother (who'd just gotten his license) got stuck with driving the friend over to our house to play, so he brought his books with him to work on his campaign. After I asked him what he was doing, that was the beginning of the end - once he told us about the game we pretty much forced him to run a session for us. How old are the people in your group? Is it a home game or organized play? I know a lot of multi-generational gaming groups, and some of the younger players are also some of the better ones. At the age of 13 you're old enough to be asking intelligent questions and actively contributing - and a lot of people will be greatly impressed by your willingness to do so. Showing that you're a serious gamer who wants to contribute to the group, who listens and learns (and puts what they've learned to good use), who doesn't start drama and pays attention to the game, will go a long way toward breaking the ice Also, older gamers love to hear themselves talk and pass on their gaming knowledge and war stories...lol. Just play the game intelligently and maturely, don't be afraid to make suggestions or ask questions to take advantage of the more experienced players' wisdom (assuming they're not a bunch of sex-obsessed teenagers or 40-yr-old children telling fart jokes), and above all... Don't worry too much about it. About 75% of the time, once you've shown yourself to be a serious, mature and committed gamer who contributes to the group, most folks who've been playing for at least a few years will forget about your age...
