necrontyr Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 So my son is 13 now, and he is really getting into D&D. However, he's not allowed to have his D&D books at his mother's house, so only gets a chance to play every other weekend when he visits me. I'd like to help him find his own gaming group, but don't know anyone else with kids around his age. Does anyone else have kids in the Vancouver area that would like to get into a game? I'm thinking maybe a meetup at the library every other Saturday or something. Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to stifle his creativity, and he can only run so many games for his little sister. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 We let our six year old play during our Sunday games until bedtime. That probably doesn't help you, but including him in an 'adult' game is always an option if you trust the adults involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrontyr Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 That's not the issue, I want him to meet other kids near his age and get to play his own games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to stifle his creativity, and he can only run so many games for his little sister. Let's see... First, I've found that although some parents are very opposed to D&D specifically, most are not opposed to certain other RPGs, so long as they are played/introduced properly. It most certainly requires a successful diplomacy check, but depending on the RPG, I can usually get the value through to most parents. Second, RPG groups are very much social, which make or break depending on the people involved. I've found it more luck based, finding a good RPG group. A bad RPG group is often worse than none at all. I suppose, ideally, you could hire a "nerd" babysitter to be your son's DM. Would allow for a bit more control, from a parental stance, plus could allow your kid to "invite" their friends while you had a night off. Third, you can very easily get the books in PDF format, so if the sole issue is the physical books, just get your son a USB drive to store "homework" on for when he's at his mom's house.... Anyway, just thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
