Thanks. I'm really worried about writing a lot and having no one understanding what i mean

At the beginning of my "story" I was worried about the how much the PC sheet was complex, so i bought the D&D Basic Game box. It contains some minis, a reduced pre-made character sheet for the iconic heroes (7 skills, a couple of feats for each), and some tiles to build the dungeon. The kids learned the game mechanics and "how to role play". Then we start the real thing... they both told me that "it is much better without the grid". I think they have too much imagination to be forced in a square grid They're blaming me right now 'cause i've bought the RHoD book instead of writing the campaign myself

Yeah. They feel the character as a "true person", an extension of them in another world. This is what i think is great: they'll remember these early PC forever
