Once again at a family gathering I will attempt to get my little cousins and niece and nephew to play D&D. This has never worked.

    Still worth a try.

    Cool character sheets!

    How old are they? I wrote Maze Rats for 10 year olds, but I'm​ sure younger kids would be fine.

    5-13. And the 5 year old is my kid and he's a Black Hack veteran.

    And I was gonna run ASE, but I've got 1000 Dead Babies and Gnomes of Levnec in the same folder...

    Gnomes of Levnec! I love Zzarchov, not as familiar with dead babies. If you can't get 'em with Maze Rats then I don't know, those tables are so much fun to roll on. Just give them all a free spell slot too or something, go nuts.

    Are there good products for teens? I've never heard of maze rats, or any other kid friendly stuff around here. But my single mom friend had started running games for her teens, and I can't recommend most of the stuff I would play...

    The 5e starter box if they're just learning. Or any 5e stuff.

    Yeah they're using that to great success I think. But I wouldn't personally play fifth unless I had to, so it's not something I personally recommend. It's probably the best place for someone with zero experience to start, but what can they digest that wasn't published by wizards of the coast?

    Maze Rats is great for teen and adult groups who want a very fast, simple, and high lethality game. Strong focus on thinking your way out of situations. Definitely not a "just for kids" game.

    phil spitzer I would actually say that Maze Rats is one of the best places to start, or for a dnd-alike one of the retroclones. It's got great OSR advice baked in, wonderful tables, and very light mechanics.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
