It's a very tricky thing to market to both kids and adults.Personally, I was introduced to D&D (basic red box) as a 10-year only back in 1980.  My parents had no interest in the game, but my dad bought it for me as a present - I guess because he read the back of the box in the store and he thought I might like it.I would prefer that the game be not targeted to children under 13.  As I've read from similar threads on these boards, the game would have to be reduced heavily in scope to be appealing to younger children.  Different kids handle things at different ages, so while some 8-to-10-year olds might grasp the rules, I don't think most of them will.Keep it targeted to adults (or at least the 13+ crowd).  Those younger children that are more advanced can handle it, and those that aren't can wait a bit longer.</blockquote>
