[QUOTE="Blastin, post: 4938973, member: 4989"] I went to our game day at the Local Barnes and Nobles. We ended up with two tables, one of which ended up with me running three ten year old girls and the mom of one of the girls, and one of my buddies. The mom and girls were all complete newbies. One of them had read some of the quickstart rules on WOTC's website, and convinced two friends and her mom to come and play. Apparently the mom had contacted the guy setting up the event before hand to see what it was all about. I was quite impressed with how fast they picked up the rules/ideas of the game. And never underestimate the ruthlessness of ten year old girls! They had a lot of fun making up the adventure for the other table but were upset when no one died! They guy running the event wanted me to allow the girls to have the duergar surrender, to show that killing them wasn't the only option. So the last dark dwarf standing surrendered. When I asked them what they wanted to do with him one of the girls said "I chop off his head!" without missing a beat. The other girl saw the look on the managers face and said, "We play Halo. We don't take prisioners." They changed their minds and did question him though;) Then, in the second encounter the girl playing the swordmage suggested splitting the party to attack both sides of the room. The girl playing the artificer replied, "I'm the only healer and if we slpit up I won't be able to help everyone." She came up with "never split the party" all on her own. They left the store with the starter box set, their character mini's and the manager gave them the extra set of monsters as well. So, three or four new gamers. Not a bad day. [/QUOTE]
