[QUOTE="jbear, post: 4617885, member: 75065"] hehe, that's quite funny... and I'm sure not a coincidence at all... I finally managed to organise a gaming group of fellow dads I knew from my son's kindergarten... no mean feat playing dnd and having very young kids. I designed it so the 4 person party was accompanied by a character that anybody could play depending on whose house we were at. This way the host's wife was welcome to join in and play. After such a difficult time getting the ball rolling now I find myself in the curious position that I have 9 people who want to play... yes, each players wife now wants to play regularly, my own wife has joined permanantly (and for the first time is into the game)... actually one of the original players has conceded his spot to his wife as he is not a dnd fan and she is. It's very 'New Player Friendly'. It's very 'DM friendly'. I enjoy the ease the system allows to tinker with the rules and make it the kind of experience I want it to be. I love the concept 'Say Yes' to your players... this is meant to be fun! I could repeat some things others have said too but that would be unneccesary. I find that the simple, fun and well oiled mechanic of the game leaves me a lot of time to be creative with the creation of plot, characters and challenges... oh, and I like the idea that characters earn experience and thus become more powerful not just from the brutal slaughter of creatures defending their lairs or their posessions from greedy blood thirsty adventurers. Skill Challenges: Love them! [/QUOTE]
