[QUOTE="Uller, post: 1461637, member: 413"] That's not really all that different from a grown up player saying "I blow it all on ale and whores" right? But yeah, it's pretty cool. I try really hard not to "impose" my interests on my kids. Other than stories that contain certain moral lessons, I generally let them pick the movies we watch (within reason of course...we're not going to watch Kill Bill...), what books we read (they like Treasure Island, Call of the Wild and The Hobbit), what sports they play and so forth. My dad didn't impose his interests on me. He encouraged me to find my own path and presented me with lots of options...some were things he liked, others weren't. But when they express interest in something I like, I'm not going to discourage them... I'm keeping it simple. I've consolidated his character sheet into Attack Bonus, Hit Points, AC, saves and possessions. I worry about the rest. He can read well enough to understand numbers and recognize simple words like "Hit Points" and such. I use it as an exercise in simple math and reading. Oh...by the way, Monte. My wife got a kick out of your wife's Spring Cleaning Auction. She's already eyeing all my old 1e and 2e books and wondering what she could get for them....thanks a lot. [/QUOTE]
