[QUOTE="StalkingBlue, post: 345581, member: 645"] Well, as it's well after midnight this side of the pond- Happy birthday, Tetsubo! I'm only a couple of months behind you, I'll be thirty-eight in November. --- My brother (29) is one of my players. My sister (27) sometimes wishes she could game with us the way she did before she left town for university and then got a job that meant travelling, travelling, travelling (in RL that is). My father (65) starts snoring softly minutes after we start talking about D&D, or strolls off to play a game of computer chess. We're working on him, though. I gave my parents The Lord of the Rings for Christmas (the novel) a couple of years ago and we started reading the book out loud to the family over the holidays. Up to page 100 or so, my father would discontently mutter, "What an odd story," every half hour or so. By page 110, he was sitting expectantly on the sofa: "Well, are we going to read some more or what?" He's still not gamer material, but he will now allow a good fantasy story to draw him in. My mother (also 65), on the other hand, gets shiny eyes and flushed cheeks even hearing about our games. I bet if I asked her to get a group of friends together, I'd be running a campaign for grannies in no time! Coming to think, maybe I will. :) [/QUOTE]
