[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7642452, member: 6803664"] What if the player started in 2012 with the 1e "premium" reprints? A few months before these came out several of us old Grognards & the owner of the local shop had set up a 1e game. It was 1e because that's what the owner was familiar with & wouldn't have to learn a whole new system. We set it on the shops slowest night & the owner DM'd Hommlet. We had 3 players + the DM. Every now & then there'd be pauses in the game as he had to help a customer etc. But like I said, we'd intentionally set it on the slowest night. We were just playing, killing time on slow as molasses Tue evenings, so there wasn't any rush in how much we needed to accomplish. About 1/2 way through Hommlet we attracted the attention of a couple of disillusioned early 20's MTG players. They'd never played an RPG in their life. They sat in on a session. We taught them how to play. A few weeks later they asked if one of their friends could join. We taught him to play. He in turn brought his two best friends. We taught them to play. During this time the special editions of 1e were just hitting the shelf. The youngest of this new blood was 19. So in 2012 we were selling brand new 1e books to 19-22 year olds. This led to a 1e game that ran for the next 4.5 years & several new and still going gaming groups. And that former 19 year old? He's a regular in the PF group I play in. He also equally prefers 1e & PF. So our youngest Grognard is now 26. [/QUOTE]
