[QUOTE="Orryn Emrys, post: 4444555, member: 6799"] Happily, I didn't have to deal with this. My stepdaughter had already been playing combat-oriented video games for years before I let her into our games. She's 13 now, and perhaps a little bloodthirsty... but in real life she can't stand violence in any capacity. I, too, would suggest you consider using a different game system, but you might also consider simply making D&D combat nonlethal for gaming with the girls. That way they can beat up on bad guys and not have to worry about killing people. You can easily have enemies willing to surrender and no longer be a threat when they've reached zero Hit Points. Just a thought. Good luck! Teaching the younger generation the joys of gaming can be a challenge, but I always find it worthwhile... and it's really cool to be able to have family game nights of D&D. I got my parents and younger brother into it back in the day, and now my kids play. Life is good! [/QUOTE]
