    What's the best introduction to 3.5 for a 13 year old?

    I've run 3.x and 4e games for my sons, now ages 10, 8 and 6. In fact, it was in a thread like this that I got a response for Gary Gygax that I now use as my .sig. Sadly, that thread was lost to a server crash, when 6 months or so or posts were lost. But the advice given so far is pretty much...

    Congrats, Olgar! I'm hoping this means we will be seeing more from you and from No Name Publishing.

    Welcome to ENWorld 2

    Thanks. Same to you and yours. I suspected you might have subscribed to this thread. If you ever do decide to run a PbP please let me know!

    Where would one find this "Second Son"?

    Welcome to ENWorld 2

    I agree. A great time for someone to start a 4e PbP! I bring this up because I am unlikely to get to play 4e in person any time soon, and because I think Olgar would be a great person to run such a PbP.

    Welcome to ENWorld 2

    Looking good. Great work Spoony. I know you have a lot on your plate, but I'm putting in another vote for forum skins to move up the priority ladder. I've never been big on the black background, and stealth or even PHB make surfing at work much less stressful. Thanks for all you do!

    Sleeping in armor?

    PCs walk into a room, kill the bad guys and take their stuff. They are being followed by more bad guys. The fighter wants to put on the fancy new armor they found in the room. Can he put it on before the next group of bad guys catches up to the PCs?

    It's Official: 4e will give you teh gay

    Isn't diaglo old enough that we can just use his sensibilities as our guideline, rather than having to refer some elder matriarch?

    [Dread] Jenga beat up my dice! My results from the indie horror RPG.

    This game was truly the highlight of Loki-con. I had a blast, and will never stop pestering howandwhy99 to run another.

    Gary Gygax has passed. RIP beloved father of RPG's. (merged)

    Not much else to say, after all that others have said. I'm glad to have asked him about gaming with me kids, and for the advice he gave.

    Battlestar Galactica WILL Reach Earth

    Good new, thanks for sharing. I must admit, I thought you were giving away spoiler info from the thread title. Glad to see I was wrong.

    Are you interested in kid friendly products?

    I am game for some kid-friendly products. I game sometimes with my sons, ages 9, 7 and 5. My idea of kid-friendly does not really minimize violence. Kids play video games where they kill monsters and bad guys. I have no problem with violence in my games. I do minimize, or remove altogether...

    audiobook subscription

    This sounds great. I have not made the leap to getting an iPod or similar player yet, but this might be the hook that pushes me to make the leap.

    Which version of D&D for young children?

    You are planning pretty far ahead. There may be many more options by the time she is ready, especially if you like 4.0 and they publish basic versions. I started my sons with the D&D basic set, but I was the DM so they did not have to know all the rules. The attention span point is a good...

    Once you go C&C, you never go back

    My sentinments precisely. As for the poll results, I don't think anyone expected C&C to "win out" over D&D. Many of the target fan base probably do not even post here.
