[QUOTE="Herschel, post: 5351352, member: 78357"] I think there's a danger in this type of thinking though. "most" is a tricky word. Sure most kids are introduced to the game by other gamers, but not nearly "all". What about the kid in the country where there's no group at his small school/town? What about the kid in the "conservative" school where gaming is frowned upon? What about the eldest/only child of non-RPG gaming families? By the time they grow up/hit college/etc. they may have filed that curiosity away, etc. and no re-visit it in a meaningful way. What about the parent who has a child who wants to play the game he heard about but the parent has no experience? But give that kid/person an easy, quick, understandable way to learn the game first, then THEY become the recruiter for new gamers in small towns/schools/neigborhoods all over the world. It may not be the big portion of the market, but still an important one. [/QUOTE]
