[QUOTE="pogre, post: 2101902, member: 6588"] Thanks much - I appreciate your stopping by! I teach social studies. It's funny you would mention bringing kids into the hobby - I teach World History. We are transitioning from Imperialism of the 19th century to WWI and I use the classic game [i]Diplomacy[/i] to illustrate the entangling alliances that helped lead to the war. It's a lot of fun and the kids learn something. At lunch today a couple of our English teachers asked me 'when are you done with this [i]Diplomacy[/i] game?' When I asked why, they said they were sick of hearing about alliances with Germany and Turkey and moving their navies into this sea or that. Let's just say the kids totally get into it! My gaming habits became public knowledge for some of my students when one of them noticed there was a guy with the same name as mine on the BadAxe Games' website. I came clean at that point. Several of them begged me to run a campaign, but with three kids at home, coaching, and my Wednesday night D&D campaign I had to say no. My five-year old son and three year-old daughter love to play though. Our game is about a step above the complexity of [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=106634]Rel's game [/URL] with his daughter. Thanks for the bump - I should have something worthy of checking out in the very near future! [/QUOTE]
