To the RPG-playing parents: when did you start letting your kids play (if you have)?
Mattias (who turns 6 next month) has been expressing a lot of interest in my Pathfinder books lately when I've been reading them, though I haven't let him page through because there's some more mature content than he's ready for in them. However, I do own a copy of the Pathfinder Beginners Box.
I know I started running my own made-up RPGs when I was 12 and moved on to D&D proper when I was 14.
I don't have kids but a recent Penny Arcade series is tangential to this topic.

The Admiral responds to the riot by killing it with fire. Fuel and Population fall by 1!
Next, the basestars fire:
Basestar 1: 5. Hit!
Basestar 2: 3. Miss.
(Anyone want to play a Calcs and make it a hit? Don't be shy)
There's one hit. Cally, as current player, you choose where to allocate it: Galactica or Pegasus? If you choose Pegasus, it will be destroyed.
BSG (Gaeta)
Man, what is with these almost-hits. Go big or go home, basestars.
Buh-bye, Pegasus!
BSG (Helo)
you know, metalman may have a point. Chances are good with this jump we will enter the endgame. Do we need Pegasus for that?
BSG(Chiefed Up)
Do we need another battlestar for the MASSIVE CYLON ASSAULT? Let me think.....
It's a crapshoot taking damage on Galactica, but is it better than losing our other ship completely?
BSG (President)
I would hate to see her go. To have the fleet cut in half would surely have a mental effect on us humans, and give a rallying cry to the Cylons. Keeping her, limping along, could be a drain on resources. If you want to keep her, then XO me, and I will help her along. I don't want to save the beast, just to see her done in the next crisis card.
BSG (Cally)
The hit goes to Pegasus.
BSG (President)
Let us all bow our heads in a moment of silence. There were a lot of brave souls on that ship. They may be lost, but they are not forgotten.
BSG
Pegasus has been destroyed! Galactica continues alone. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
