Venting - Skill Checks and Role Playing vs Roll Playing

[Rhynn]

The goal is that any 13-year-old can pick up the books and start running a game, with no knowledge of - well, anything that's not in the books.

Hey, now, I did that with Basic D&D (of BECM) at age 10, and it's a great game.

Pretty sure Basic D&D was the only RPG I actually used the rules right in at that age.
