Once again at a family gathering I will attempt to get my little cousins and niece and nephew to play D&D.

Godspeed, sir
ReplyDeleteStill worth a try.
ReplyDeleteCool character sheets!
How old are they? I wrote Maze Rats for 10 year olds, but I'm sure younger kids would be fine.
ReplyDelete5-13. And the 5 year old is my kid and he's a Black Hack veteran.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was gonna run ASE, but I've got 1000 Dead Babies and Gnomes of Levnec in the same folder...
ReplyDeleteGnomes 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.
ReplyDeleteAre 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...
ReplyDeleteThe 5e starter box if they're just learning. Or any 5e stuff.
ReplyDeleteYeah 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?
ReplyDeleteMaze 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.
ReplyDeletephil 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.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thanks y'all!
