Some people seem to be taking the term "farm boy" a bit too literally.

Not free but I hear good things about - The Secret Lives of Gingerbread Men by Annie Rush in the Games section @ lulu.com

IME, when someone puts something of that quality on display, it is not that they do not care, it is because they are not aware of what others might think, even if those others would likely represent and overwhelming majority and that majority opinion would be unfavorable. It is far simpler, and...

Indeed. In many FUNdamental ways, in fact. :) I have always been of a mind that the combat should be incidental to the adventuring, exploring, investigating, etc. I feel this is also the way to present any combat scenarios in RPGs to youngsters.

There's your commercial: a mom DMing for a couple of kids, the kids then go on to college where one of them is DMing for a bunch of friends, then one day the kid, now grown up, is DMing for his kids with the mom, now grandmother, joining in while visiting. Generations of gaming.

There are different types of wargames, of course, some that do tactical planning well (like skirmish miniatures games) and others that do strategic planning well (big picture board wargames, for instance). The further D&D has gotten from its roots, the less it does the second well. I don't...

I'm not sure that most convention gaming is geared toward that sort of thing. No matter what you do, please keep this thread bookmarked and make a post-convention report on your findings.

That's certainly understandable. I was running some games at Little Wars over the last weekend that were geared toward combat but they are not personalized like a roleplaying game, merely miniatures games where the players are disassociated from the individual actions of the combatants. Once...

Kids of all ages were playing Lurch: The Zombie Chess Game on Sunday. :)

That's a great bit of work. Very nice, indeed! :)

Why do sailors find it easiest to hold up their pants with a piece of rope?

The Midwest Chapter of the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society held their anual Little Wars convention over this last weekend (April 23-25) and the turn out of about 750 attendees was up over last year's economic downturn low. Moving back from the main building to the raquet court building, as...
