However, overall, I'd worked with kids aged as young as 6 (although these rarely have the presence of mind to stick to one game for a long time.)Uriksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456662104417425451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311772169747420995.post-64957780783136394932012-03-02T17:51:47.093+02:002012-03-02T17:51:47.093+02:00I'm curious to what the age range of the kids ...I'm curious to what the age range of the kids playing was. My 9 y/o was constantly exposed to V:TM when he was younger and he has no problem with understanding it is just a game. As for tests, I'm thinking that making them feed in a controlled fashion, rather than just out of hunger and thus killing would be a good one. And I think the suggestion of Torah is a good idea. Make them actually USE the skills AND discover their disciplines and if they can figure out how to use them effectively.<br /><br />Katrina Thiessen<br />anana_girlslave@msn.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311772169747420995.post-67319508922799276262012-03-02T01:49:44.047+02:002012-03-02T01:49:44.047+02:00Oh, I really like the second idea, I think they wi...Oh, I really like the second idea, I think they will find it very easy to relate to this situation plus have a great time coming to school with "super powers."Uriksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456662104417425451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311772169747420995.post-69434345045117796652012-03-02T01:47:19.792+02:002012-03-02T01:47:19.792+02:00I suggest the next test should be one that they ha...I suggest the next test should be one that they have to work together to accomplish, using whatever skills they picked, such as, insinuating themselves into a fancy restaurant and charming or annoying the host, waiters, and chefs until they find a rare spice the vampires crave. Or pretending to be students in a boarding school to discover which of the teachers is really a leader of local vampire hunters. After they succeed, you could reward them by letting them choose one or two new skills.Torah Cottrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508962093040960763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311772169747420995.post-50409843250980413242012-03-02T01:18:21.667+02:002012-03-02T01:18:21.667+02:00Thank you for your kind words and excellent idea.

That would give you more to work with for designing a follow-up session.<br /><br />And, thanks for doing this.
