[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 3787806, member: 957"] There will always be room in the PH for a nice chunk of advice and a basic description of the concept. Though not a lot more than that, I just don't accept the idea that there are that many kids that are honestly interested in RPGs and yet have never played cowboys and indians or pinned a towel around their neck and pretended to be Superman. If they can do that at 5 they can grasp the idea of pretending to be a wizard at 12. I'm just not willing to look down my nose at people and claim this ideas might be beyond them.) The DMG is another matter. Being able to RP easily is one thing. Being able to support and encourage it is another. (And rapidly changing hats in the DM seat can also be an issue) So real advice there is no doubt of value. But all that is non-mechanical. To further stretch the pasta analogy, the absolute worst thing the designers can do is start telling me which kind of pasta I need. [/QUOTE]
