[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2424986, member: 22622"] It does depend on the player as far as age and maturity. In my earlier post I said i had 3 teenagers and one of them was the only one whom was responsible and got it. But I got to play my chances and more than likely, players under 18 just aren't mature enough most of the time. This sucks because I know I"m not giving some fair gamer his chance. Heck, even if my odds are standard (1 out of every 3) there's still a pretty good chance of getting a kid whom hasn't really gotten the full concept of d and d. Even with older players, I have rigourous screening process to see if our styles mesh. Sidenote: The 25 year old immature idiot in my earlier post had an eight year old brother whom I had the pleasure of gaming with just before I kicked them out. We were all at a convention and the only dungeons and dragons game was being run by this old guy (whom I suspected may have been some kind of child molester after he whispered to my girlfriend and I at the end of the game "I get little girls to play by putting puzzles in the game" ). In any case this creepy guy was running an all children game but since my gf and i wanted to play d and d we joined in. The other 5 kids at the table were your typical preteen/early teen brats. But this eight year old kid was amazing. He knew all the rules and was poised. He ended up saving all of our characters in the end by making a smart decision. He remained in character the whole time and critizizing the other kids at the table. The kid did a better job than most vets I know. So I know age isn't based on maturity , sadly I've had way too many bad experiences to take the risk again. [/QUOTE]
