Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zinovia" data-source="post: 4355173" data-attributes="member: 57373">My kids are 10 and 13, and I'd like to get both of them involved in a D&D game.  My older son played in our main group for awhile, but got invited to a Warhammer game with people closer to his age and he'd rather do that one (they are on the same day).  My younger son would rather play with his friends on Saturdays than sit at the gaming table all day long (1pm to 10pm with a long dinner break).  Besides, one of my players just isn't into kids and I doubt he has the patience needed to put up with a 10 year old in the group.  We're starting a weeknight game that will consist of my family and a friend who is great with kids.  My youngest will get some practice in math, and both kids will have a chance to play.  Connor is excited about his warlock and was telling my husband about the backstory we made up for him (using Central Casting: Heroes of Legend - great book!).  Since the sessions will be shorter (3-4 hours), I'm less worried about attention span problems.  So that's our way to involve the kids without inflicting them on the player who doesn't really like kids in my main group.  We always play at our house because my husband and I are the only ones in the group with children.  Also we have the big battle mat, the minis, and far more books than anyone else.  We'd end up bringing 40 pounds of stuff if we had to travel somewhere else to play.  I think having everyone else come to us is only fair.  I have to clean up before and after, and do all the dishes too.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Due to a player with significant food allergies we always cook dinner during the middle of the session - often it's something pre-made and finished off there, but it's never as easy as ordering pizza.  On the other hand, three of us are good cooks, so we frequently have really tasty food, like fajitas with homemade key lime pie for dessert.</blockquote>
