Thanks for shari...Awesome, just ABSOLUTELY awesome. Thanks for sharing this. The pure thrill and imagination of children playing D&D - and of playing D&D with children! Reminds me, too, of when i first started playing D&D (though i was older).<br />Looking forward to following their further adventures!<br />And this makes me ponder how i often find the best and most enjoyable roleplaying is to be had with the most uninhibited/non-scared people! :)Anders Kirsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155559519626327744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990098407619203444.post-79847053519976047472012-04-24T16:40:45.640-05:002012-04-24T16:40:45.640-05:00Completely and totally awesome. Kudos, my good man...Completely and totally awesome. Kudos, my good man...kudos.<br /><br />"Playing with kids" is one area where I'm willing to fudge die-rolls and other things that normally would be "DM Cheating." As you pointed out, you want to make it exciting and make the risk palpable, but you also don't want to just rub them out and possibly turn them against the game. (Personal experience: My dad was terrific at chess, at least I always thought so. He used to trounce me all the time. I mean it; I never beat him. Of course, I was also under the age of 12 when we played. But I learned (right or wrong) that I was no good at chess and therefore I stopped playing it. Even now, three decades later, I seldom play it. I don't think my dad did it intentionally, and I think he would be hurt if he thought I blamed him; I certainly don't blame him. My point is simply this: a game that you can never 'win' or where your in-game proxy is constantly being killed off (thus requiring another long span of time to create 'Bob', his brother)--this kind of game is no fun to a child and you run the risk of alienating a potential hobbyist from the RPG world.)Boric Glanduumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657943639334882754noreply@blogger.com
