I ran a little adventure in RQ3 for my nine year old nephew last summer. He was completely new to rpgs and had a very vague idea of what it really was about, but after a few minutes explaining things he got right into it.
The rules faded into the background as he really started roleplaying. I was quite impressed actually. By his performance, how quickly he grasped the essentials of the system and how little the system got in the way. I did play fairly loosely with the rules, but still.
I'm not sure it would have been as easy with D&D or GURPS for example.
