[QUOTE="Shaunobi, post: 6564417, member: 6792321"] Hey all, quick update. Here's my list before our next session (hopefully) this weekend: watch combat video a couple times, read both campaign and rules again, review character sheets. Re: organized play, I'm in Portland so I could go to Guardian Games, but I have limited time so I usually go there with my kids. In some future month, though, I'll try to get some "real world" experience. Too bad I can't just "rent a DM" to come run a game for us at my house :) Finally, in terms of my kids ability to play the game, my 8 year old girl is more than up to the task. She's writing 10-20 page "books" already, though, and read the entire Harry Potter series in less than 4 weeks from book 1 to finishing book 7. She's also good at math and doesn't struggle with that. Middle boy is less focused but comes up with some great, off-the-wall story ideas; he doesn't struggle with the math either in spite of being 6. Youngest one doesn't really understand the gameplay mechanics but is a good sport; he tends to follow along with the story and comes up with some great ideas himself.
