They get really excited about stuff. The adults have "seen it all", so sometimes that little bit of joy DM's have is lessened.As long as his parents know and are ok with it, I'd give it a try.  Maybe run a "rules lite" game at first, and make it a shorter session than you might normally do, in case he gets fidgety.  But I think you'll be surprised at how much fun he will have, and how much a new perspective can bring to the table.</blockquote>
