[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 859413, member: 2013"] Absolutely. Let me give you the breakdown of the last group I DM'd (before I moved last November) in terms of experience. Me -> 16+(!) years (at the time - now over 19) My next-oldest brother -> 15 years One of my old RPing buddies -> 12 years One of *his* RPing buddies -> 10 years His brother -> 8 years My youngest brother -> newbie His friend -> newbie High school senior I knew from church who wanted in -> newbie Another High school senior I knew from church who wanted in -> newbie His brother, junior-high age -> newbie Another High school-aged kid that wanted in -> newbie Friend of High Schoolers #1 of 7 -> newbie Friend of High Schoolers #2 of 7 -> newbie Friend of High Schoolers #3 of 7 -> newbie Friend of High Schoolers #4 of 7 -> newbie Friend of High Schoolers #5 of 7 -> newbie Friend of High Schoolers #6 of 7 -> newbie Friend of High Schoolers #7 of 7 -> newbie I wound up running two campaigns. Now all of them have a year to three years more under their belts (some of them had to go off to college, started working, moved away, etc.). Thus, in my latest group, we had: 5 grizzled vets 13 newbies What I'm quite pleased about is that of the newbies, 3 or 4 are (last I heard) DMing their own campaigns... usually in my homebrew world. :) So I guess I've introduced 13 new players (funny thing is, I introduced all of the vets but one "back in the day" to RPGs, too) to 3e. And I'm responsible for 3 or 4 new DMs. More DMs means more games means more players means more D&D for everyone. :) I won't claim I'm responsible for their DMing talents - just for being there when they were interested in D&D and needed a veteran to "show them the ropes." :) --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
