I broke out my old HeroQuest game last weekend to play with my niece, nephew and two of my daughters. Actually it isn’t that old as I bought it after I owned my house. I wasn’t that big into RPGs when I was a kid, I did play, but not as feverishly as some of my friends.
We had a good time after the painful explanation of the mechanics. The hardest part to get across was that they weren’t playing AGAINST each other.
The girls really liked the game and I think they might be interested in not only playing again, but in playing other games.
I am surprised that RPGs aren’t more popular with women. RPGs are just people sitting around talking and developing relationships. Isn’t that the hallmark of the fair Venusians?
Hey 'Prop. Looks like you drew a little fire...heh.
