[QUOTE="Bleys, post: 1080960, member: 12367"] IMO, there is no one "right" age. Just like there is no "text-book, normal" child as far as the developmental cycle goes. I started when I was 8, and now 23-odd years later, I'm still at it and the father of two children (2.5 years and 1 year). The 2.5 year old showed an intense interest in dice from a very young age. She's also shown an incredible capacity for imagination and imaginary play. My guess is that as soon as she can grasp some of the other concepts involved with a roleplaying game, she'll be ready to play. It could be as early as 5 years old, as long as she has the maturity to handle things ;) Of course it could be that she'll either have no interest in it or will not want to play until she's much older. IMO, I think you just need to judge based on the personality and maturity of the child in question... though encouragement is always a good thing!! :D [/QUOTE]
