[QUOTE="Phlebas, post: 3746680, member: 23810"] Last thursday session we had a newbie joining in for his first ever RP session (My neighbours 10 year old kid) Background - last weekend we had a BBQ with the neighbours and various friends, including some of the thursday night group. As an occasional-wargamer he knew about fantast games and so picked up on some of the conversations ... ended up with asking if he could join in sometime followed by an invitation to turn up on thursday and see what he thought His parents are now asking how much they'll have to spend and are quite surprised that its only ~£20 for PHB or ~£45 for the complete set. I think they were worried it would be another warhammer army set.... Roleplaying as a concept seems to be quite well known - as is Fantasy. I can't say that D&D has the same profile but at least it doesn't have the satanic scare history it seems to in the US. These days its easier to explain what happens on a thursday night in terms of computerless compute games! The last few years i've tried to bring in a newbie every campaign as my contribution to the eventual geek dominion of the world, i've actually found it surprisingly easy and the major problem i have is keeping numbers in the game manageable as i have a large pool of RP'ing freinds [/QUOTE]
