He really is a mini-geek though.  He has a really good time and frequently asks me to run him through something.So I certainly think it is possible for an 8 year old to play - heck I was playing when I was 8 and was pretty much self-taught on a Basic Set.  Just help them with character creation and possibly ignore or greatly assist with some of the more complicated things.Also - Paizo will be releasing a Pathfinder Beginner Box this year, currently listed for around October I believe, time for holiday purchases.  It will likely be even more suited for the beginning player.  I know IronPup will be getting one for Christmase - hist first boxed set. Er, I take that back.  A friend bought him a 3.5 Boxed Set.<a href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/v5748btpy8kgt" target="_blank">Pathfinder Beginner Box</a></blockquote>
