Thanks everyone,

Bit stressfull at the moment looking after my lovely 2 girls at home (on paternity leave would you believe for 1 week), but also have to go to work to cover for a few hours, with frequent trips to the hospital.......very long, but great days!

Extra stressful to hear that Swarmy's going to be opening shrink wrap

- NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Don't do it man!!! Save it for when we meet again. I've taken enough things out of their shrink this week. :wink:

Strato: yep about 4 hp at the moment. A 1st level fighter, and learning quick. Definitely OD&D stock :wink:

Congratulations Brendan---and "Alexander" is an excellent choice in a name, btw (my favorite!).

He's going great guns at the moment - 3 months old and weighing in at a bouncing 15lb 4 ounces (i think that's what 7kgs are :lol:

)

Haven't had a chance to run him through a mod yet :cry:

.....been trying to teach him how to roll the dice without trying to eat them. Not too successful at the moment. :lol:

Thanks Martin

My response would probably be

Though he'd go

(I'll definitely try it out though :wink:

)

Stratochamp's son is just over one year. I saw him roll his first d20. Got a 20, naturally.

He still tries to eat the dice, though.

Great to see the hobby has another generation to sling the dice.

You never know, in 10-15 years they may hopefully meet up at Gencon.

Never got my kids into any sort of gaming, but we do pull out the occasional game of Dungeon or Wizards Quest. My youngest still loves to pull out that tattered Fantasy Forest

Don't think we will ever graduate to much else, they are all too busy with school, sports and whatever. My oldest daughter is almost 13 - scares the crap out of me

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!
