[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2723885, member: 22622"] It just seems like a moot question and I"m suprised at the answers. YES to "master" all of the introcities of game is not for beginners. Mastering any game from Monopoly to Settlers of Cataan to Shadowrun is difficult. No, you will not learn A of O, Sneak attack and rage all within one setting but the game is inviting enough that you can start playing it fairly quickly. I started playing with 3.0. How did I start. Someone handed me a book and said "here we're playing this in an hour, you'll like it its fun". I bought the book, flipped through the bard pages and I was set to go. I felt comfortable that first night. The rules are no more intracate than ANY complex board game (Settlers, Clue, Age of Mythology) - and in some cases those games take longer to understand. Again, I think its more difficult (as it sounds like it) for those whom were exposed to earlier editions and other systems to understand. It's easier to teach a child English than it is to teach an adult. And from waht I"m hearing from the answer you're taking your experiences learning english as an adult and applying it to a child. "Well if me and adult can't get everything right, surely a child can't". When the opposite has proven to be true. [/QUOTE]
