[QUOTE="Ycore Rixle, post: 2422618, member: 675"] I'm a teacher, and I've had great experiences DMing both for kids at summer camp and for some kids who were interested during the schoolyear during club/break time. They've all been in the 7th-11th grade range, roughly 12-17 years old. What I've concluded is that if you're a gamer, you're a gamer. It's all about the game, and if you like games, not much else is especially relevant. One of the girls (it's an all-girls school) in the current game taught me all about ARGing, which I really hadn't the faintest inkling of until she told me about it. Now, the only experience I have with mixed-generation player groups is at cons. But there, again, it's gone great. In fact, I played at an awesome table at Gen Con last year with a father and son. The son's half-orc talked like a rapper, because he was straight outta Waterdeep. That was genius. Bottom line: yes, it can work. Like most groups, it just depends on the personalities involved.
