[QUOTE="Samothdm, post: 781434, member: 5473"] Yep - pretty much my entire group now (6 players) are for the most part novices. We're all in our late 20s or early 30s. Two of the players are women and this is their first foray into RPGs. One is a guy who hasn't played since he was 15. The other three are somewhat veterans but don't play all that much. Anyway, we started playing about 2 years ago. One of the women has gone on to buy miniatures and paint them (that's a sure sign of being "assimilated" if I ever saw one). She's also posted a few times on D&D message boards. The other woman (my wife) I've caught reading through my "Manual of the Planes" or "Heroes of High Favor: Elves", all the while insisting that she "doesn't want to play" and can she "kill my character off?". The guy who hasn't played since he was 15 has bought a few extra supplemental books, read through all of the spell descriptions, and redesigned his character around a pretty cool background just to make him fit in more with my world. I still think that the woman who bought and painted her own miniatures is the clear "winner" in this group, though. [/QUOTE]
