Roleplaying and Children...
[Damn...closed the wrong window, and lost my original attempt at posting this. *curses quick-fingers*]

...or won't someone think of the Roleplayers?

It all started innocently enough, with halloweenboy asking in Roleplayers...

This is a gaming issue that I don't see mentioned at all. My wife and I both rp and I know here in St. Louis there are a few other couples with kids. Since we hold most of our games in our house we don't usually get a babysitter but I have been invited to play in other games and my wife would like to join me but we don't have easy access to a babysitter and I would not think that it would be polite to bring the little one along. Does anyone else have this issue or is this a very rare issue? Just kind of a brainstorming issue...

First comment, the cf_hardcore people strike! blacktigr brings out the child-beating bat with this...

I've only been in one game where there were children in the place. The group never got anywhere. And if you're that couple that never gets a babysitter and has them running around the table...I hate you.

Get a babysitter. One day a week. It shouldn't be that hard.

And it's off! So much so, that the original poster EDITS his post to include this:

EDIT: I would prefer answers from regular people, no members of cf_hardcore who seem to have an agenda to spread...thanks

Which sets blacktigr off again, as she is unhappy with the edit.

I'm personally amused by the people who keep talking about their gaming being SERIOUS BUSINESS and that they'd never bring a child along to a WHITE WOLF game. ADULTS ONLY OMG.

I've played White Wolf games. Maybe I just was never so OMG HARDCORE into the silly (inconsistent) world WW keeps creating.
