    The Parent-Kid Game (updated 3/20/2004)

    You'll have a ton of fun with it, Ashy. Be prepared for chaotic sessions when the action gets going. Their all loud and and exited. It really is the best part. With older kids, I think you'll be able to blur the moral line a bit, which will make for a more interesting game. As opposed to the...

    The Parent-Kid Game (updated 3/20/2004)

    Ya, your little people are IMO too young for this. That said, there is another fellow playing a striped down version with his kids (3 and 5 ). He has a thread going in the genral forum. I also have a four and a two year old. There's not much you can play with the two year old, but there are a...

    The Parent-Kid Game (updated 3/20/2004)

    I sure do. I think that eight is really a minimum. Any younger and you have too many tears while playing this game. Even at eight years old, I think that parents and kids should play one character. I currently have one father-son combo playing a Sor2 and one mother-daughter playing a Druid and...

    Advice? - First D&D with sons, ages 5 and 3

    Playing with your kids is great fun. I run a game wit my boy and some of our friends and their children. Children’s ages range from 13 to 8. Here's my advice on the points. Letting the kids know that they are hurt and their PC is in real danger of death is appropriate. I don't think making the...

    The Parent-Kid Game (updated 3/20/2004)

    Dogchild, I am not really concerned with that. Kids are resiliant (sp?). I let the dice fall where they may (Yep, I'm into open rolling and don't use a DM screen), and if the child's PC dies that's the way the game is played. Beside, half the fun of this game is character creation. When Magus...

    The Parent-Kid Game (updated 3/20/2004)

    That is a great question. I had to change the story from the actual facts of the game. The character was impaled on that trap, but didn't die. Like my son's character, she was into negative HP when the session ended. When we played she seemed to have a good time, and I'm told she raved about...

    Introduction Following the signing of the treaty in Tenh, the 14th squad of the 100th regiment was discharged. Its members having seen little combat returned home happy that the war, at least for them, had been short. Magus returned to his monastery to reconnect with the balance in universe...

    Teaching your kids to play D&D

    I run a monthly parent-kid game that includes a wide range of child players - from 13 down to 8. In so far a character generation is concerned - run the rules as written without any specials. you might not want to start them at 1st level since 1st level can be diffcult to live through. Then...

    Magical Tattoos

    I had a character that took the Craft Magical Tattoo feat from Dungeon mag, which played pretty easily and was frequently useful. I believe it was listed in the controversial Vile senareo issue.

    Rules for a new D&D group

    Merak, I think your rules area little - ahh - strict as written. From your brief write-up, the information conveyed to me was "we're prude, elitist role players looking for same. Commitment required." I certainly did not get the vibe that y'all were "laid back" and out for a good time. I'd go...

    Slave prices

    The economics of slavery are a little more complex than this. Check out Chains and Misery, a PDF available through rpgnow.com. I found that to be a great source for slavery information when I was looking.

    Tell me what's so good about life

    Not insensitive, in my opinion. A hardy dose of skeptism may be warranted. Nonetheless, Uz appears to be in trouble. Therefore, it important to provide some measure of assistance, even though none may actually be needed; rather than do nothing. If I looked like I needed help, I hope someone...

    Tell me what's so good about life

    There is an aweful lot of people out their giving you a metaphorical mother's point of view, Uz - everything will be alright and there's lots of good things in the world. Well their right. Let me add to the metaphorical father's point of view. [my wife would say goog god, john, don't]. Life...
