Wouldn't it make more sense to attract people to the hobby by playing simple games which necessarily cost very little. Hey, people even tell me that some of these are even available for free, like GURPS ultra-light.ROLEPLAYING IS FREEStop acting as though this hobby has costs. Anyone who has enough to survive at subsistence level has what is needed to play an RPG: their imagination.What is this "let's?" Your complicated RPGs are too expensive for kids, and no matter how much you may struggle, you won't nullify this fact. Because I play RPGs too, and they require no more than pencils, a handful of dice, and a few 3x5" cards; the rules are simple enough that they can be passed along orally. You and your friends can game all you want for less than a dollar.No, it isn't that simple. If that were the case for everyone, then I wouldn't find familiar mechanics so jarring. Maybe what you say is true for a lot of people (in fact it I think it must be true for at least some), but it got me every time I hit someone and whittled their hp down from 64 to 59.
