[QUOTE="Mishihari Lord, post: 5897381, member: 128"] As much as I would like to agree with the OP, as much as I would like the books written with adults (me) as a target audience, I don't think it would be a good idea. Most of the people I've met who play RPGs started before they hit twenty. This is the audience that needs to be addressed by the books to grow the market, which WOTC needs to do. The rest of us will buy the books anyway as long as the rules are good. Personally, I would like to see the rules written in Gary's style, but that might be a bit of a barrier to new people wanting to play. {EDIT} On second thought, I started playing AD&D at 12 years old (Basic at 10). I might be underestimating kids' ability to absorb such stuff. On the other hand, I may not be typical since I grew up reading the King James Bible, which tends to make you pretty good at figuring out obscure meaning from context. [/QUOTE]
