Use something currently in-print. If you really still want to go old school, use Labyrinth Lord.<br /><br />The idea is that I think it's in the best interest of the hobby if the kids can play something, think, "that's cool!" and buy it - without having to scour eBay for a used copy.<br /><br />Then when they show it off to their friends, they can buy one too. Using something long out of print will lead to a dead end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-87795434432037504882011-02-16T11:54:11.027-06:002011-02-16T11:54:11.027-06:00I like making at least one of my games kid friendl...I like making at least one of my games kid friendly at conventions. I also try to make it friendly to my 5 year old (going on six this year) daughter. I use classic sterotypes with character ideas that they are familiar with. I have found that this is a great way to get kids into the hobby!Game Master Rob Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198920658123610173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-20728390402359638702011-02-16T10:27:35.126-06:002011-02-16T10:27:35.126-06:00I created rpgKids for my daughter, who was 4 at th...I created rpgKids for my daughter, who was 4 at the time. She's almost 6, and we still play with it. She probably wouldn't grasp a more complex game until she hit maybe 9 or 10. You can find it at rpgkids.com.<br /><br />I'm not sure why the industry has yet to grasp that parents really, really like gaming with their kids. It's weird to me that there aren't more of these types of products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-6236112835373022552011-02-16T10:26:40.809-06:002011-02-16T10:26:40.809-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.NewbieDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372790799350472392noreply@blogger.com
