David,
  I appreciated hearing your session report, as well as getting in touch 
with me personally.  If you wish to post parts or all of this note on 
the list, feel free to do so.
  I started a DR group about a month ago, but due to scheduling, we have 
met only twice.  I run the group, since I have been through all the 
adventures, already.  There were four of us for the LRT, my wife, her 
younger brother, and their cousin.  They all did well, and
they have grown up in the church, so the lessons were not too difficult
for them to figure out.  The only thing that seems to be of trouble is 
the actual role-playing, in a sense:  They know that their character is 
being "attacked" or enchanted, so they try to be themselves instead of 
their character.  I see this as both good and bad.  Good that they know 
what sin is, and that it is wrong.  Bad, because they go beyond the 
powers of their character's abilities.  Am I being too nit-picky about 
this, or is there something to be said or done?  I have definately 
chosen the harder mind speech when the time comes in the RSS.  Also, now 
we have started the RSS, and we had a new player join, which is not a 
problem at this point, even though she has not completed the LRT.  The 
problem is that she is a new Christian(which is GREAT!  Don't get me 
wrong)  However, she has never
seen the verses used for WR, before.  So, as the "churched" kids that 
have grown up in the Word pick up quickly on new WR's, she feels slow 
and even somewhat hurt that she doesn't seem to catch on as quickly.  Is 
there a chunk of advice that you or someone might have for me?  Please 
share.  I don't want to see her scared off by such matters.  Aside from 
the WR's, she caught on quickly, and is more than willing to step in and 
help to make decisions in an orderly fashion.  
  We raid every Friday, after they get out of school, and my wife and I 
get out of classes.  Then, later in the evening, we go to the youth 
group worship service at our church, which we all are currently involved 
in. Overall, the day is full of learning, praying, and worshipping, 
which is a must for any healthy relationship with God.
