Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gorck" data-source="post: 9853008" data-attributes="member: 7037537">My last session was AMAZING!  For a while, my daughter and I had been trying to convince my cousin’s daughter to give D&D a chance.  Back in September we were finally successful and we had a pretty decent session - I created a one-shot that could be turned into a full campaign if she wanted to come back.  At the end of the night, when she was getting picked up, she said she had fun and would come back again.Unfortunately, we had been attacked by the most devastating foe a D&D group can ever face: scheduling.  For four months we had been unsuccessful in coordinating a second session.  Finally, a couple weekends ago, she was set to come over (and sleep over, so we could play longer).  But then, the day of, she canceled because she wasn’t feeling good.  That’s when the stupid part of my brain started thinking, “maybe she didn’t have fun and doesn’t want to play again.  Maybe she just doesn’t have the heart to tell us and is just making excuses until we finally give up on asking.”But this past weekend she came over (and slept over) and we had a great time.  At one point a couple of her other cousins came over (I was hoping to get them to try playing too, or at least watch us.  But they just sat on the couch watching Sing on Disney+).  She and my daughter stood in the doorway watching the beginning of the movie, and I’d feared I had lost them.  But then she came back to the table to continue playing, my daughter following shortly after.  As the night got late, I kept asking if they wanted to wrap things up, but she kept saying she wanted to keep playing.  Those two things, her coming back to the table first and her not wanting to stop for the night, assuaged my fears that she wasn’t interested in D&D.  I haven’t stopped smiling all week <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
