[QUOTE="amnuxoll, post: 5238556, member: 13028"] My son, Isaac, started out in much the same way. Our 4e group lost a player and we needed a new person to fill the Leader role. My son had been watching us play for some time and it was a gradual, natural progression from "Isaac can roll the dice for our temporary NPC cleric until we find a new player" to Isaac just being part of the group. He's been playing with us for over half a year now and greatly enjoys it. Recently I've started taking him to D&D Encounters events at our FLGS. Again, he's having a great time. I bought him a thri-kreen miniature a couple weeks ago and we painted it together. I honestly don't think it matters that much what system you play. Certainly the array of different powers can be confusing for a new player but it's not that bad. By far, the biggest hurdle is attention span. Isaac is good for about 2 hours of play and my impression is that that's well above average. The highest priority is a venue where the child is free to leave at any time. [/QUOTE]
