 Hey! I'm 16 and have been playing Deadlands since I
 was... 15 [L5R, my first RPG: 13]. Ok, not the best
 example. I started with a huckster and, while I'm not
 the best roleplayer, John Wright has become one of my
 favorite characters. I try to not be a munchkin!
 Before 3 games under my belt, I read a page about
 munchkins and decided *not* to be that one.
 
 But I see the generic statement to be right. Many
 kids, I wouldn't want playing RPGs. But I have a few
 ideas of my own for HOE with my friends.

    I do believe he was referring to kid characters.. Of which I have to 
disagree.. I've had one decent kid character (And only one attempt). It was a 
huckster entitled the Sen Sen Ante Kid.. Very humorous little character  He 
was a child huckster (Fourteen), and a wonderful poker player. Unfortuanetly 
the adults would never let him play in their games. ;-)
    But if he was referring to kids playing RPGs.. Then there will be 
violence tonight!
