[QUOTE="Abciximab, post: 4414324, member: 46017"] [b]My Daughter, the Power Gamer…[/b] [CENTER][B]My Daughter, the Power Gamer…[/B][/CENTER] For the next game I tried to mix it up a bit. I drew a map on a blank 9-piece puzzle, and then drew the same map on my battle map. The only difference was the puzzle map has an x marking where a buried treasure lies. My thought was, the princess has a piece of a treasure map and must find the other parts. She finds people along the way who also need help with various problems. I made it in such a way that each problem could be solved by resolving another. The fairie’s home was the site of an ancient battle and many swords, armor and other bits of metal cluttered their forest home. The blacksmith needed metal to make nails to sell to the beekeeper. The beekeeper needed nails to build his beehives. The dragon was strong enough to carry all the metal to the smith, but wanted a reward for help (honey, or some other bauble). Each challenge overcome would grant two pieces of the map. (The X would always be the last piece. Deus ex machina, but whatta-ya-gonna-do) The troll bridge had worked well, so I placed that in the middle to solve the occasional puzzle (math or word game) as she crossed back and forth. The treasure would be guarded by a big blue dragon spawn (Bluespawn-Godslayer). Since I had given her no direction on where to start or who to visit first I wondered how it might go. Here’s what happened… The dragon gets a marble. “Where did it come from”, you ask? (I did) “Right here on the floor”, as she picks it up from just under the edge of the couch. The dragon is thrilled. (No, really.) She put the metal the fairies had too much of and the blacksmith together quickly. Me : “It’s very heavy, how will you carry it?” Her : “I can carry it.” Me : “It’s REALLY heavy.” Her : “I’ll use two hands.” The blacksmith get his metal, the beekeeper gets his nails and the princess gets the honey, which she shares with everyone, including the troll. Putting the puzzle together is tough (probably the hardest challenge, it’s double sided, though one side remains blank), but gets it with very little help. Next is….. Where’s my Blue Spawn? My son has it. Still not sure where it is… So the guardian is…. Let’s see, what have I got on hand… Something big… Oh, Mountain Troll. She charms him, they dig up the treasure and the princess has a new crown, necklace and ring. She mimes taking each item out of the chest, and she even gives the DM (“Here’s something for you daddy”) a small bribe out of the treasure chest. She’s so going to master this game. [/QUOTE]
