[QUOTE="CoatRackOfDoom, post: 4363535, member: 71191"] Mamacat, thanks for the topic! I'm a parent and a gamer, who's gamed with other parent/gamers as well as non-parents for several years now. Fascinating and gratifying to see so many people with different perspectives. But what I wanted to contribute here was this: When I discovered gaming, specifically AD&D, in 1979 I learned the ropes from another kid my age (11yrs). Then, several years of playing it with my pals and my brother... It wasn't until I was an adult myself that I met and learned from more experienced DMs. I would have thoroughly loved to learn the game from a group of adults, even more so if those adults were my parent(s) and their friends! Seriously, how awesome would that have been?! So, big kudos to those of you introducing children (your own, and those of your table mates) to this fantastic world. My daughter is 5 and utterly uninterested - but one day, I hope to bring her into the fold. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
