Surely the time of year has something to do with it. Christmas/New Year’s would be a terrible time to launch a crowdfunding campaign.

60 sets of dice is wild. Clearly cheap to stuff in.

Ashes without number and the game mastering book both appeal to me, but I really struggle to justify paying $40 AUD for a PDF (and shipping costs to Australia make hard copies much more expensive). It’s like I’m basically priced out of the market.

It’s one I think is cool, but would never back it or print it due to the sheer size of the beast.

The options definitely helped. As did a Guide leader who was helping the girls by offering suggestions of what they could do and checking their character sheets for potential options. I’ve also got 2 younger kids, so if my eldest daughter was interested in playing again I’d just run something...

All I can think of now is Bojack Horseman in a D&D campaign! 😂

Yeah, I don't doubt that at all. I asked my daughters about her on the drive home last night. Apparently she’s horse obsessed, so makes sense she wanted to play a centaur. She paid a lot of attention in game to what was going on and was the most proactive, so I didn’t mind. My initial concern...

Session is run and done and it wasn’t a train wreck, so I’m calling it a success. I even dealt with the added unexpected hurdle of one of the girls rocking up with a 2nd level winged Centaur Druid. 🤦‍♂️ I wish I was kidding, but I am not. The rest of the girls had 1st level pre-gens I made. 😂...

Technically I could run ToA in 90 minutes. I’m sure I could opening scene TPK in under 30 minutes! 😂

Yeah, it’s best that we don’t talk about how much dice I have. Suffice to say I have enough. 😬🤦‍♂️😂 As for the 90 minutes, you’re right in that it’s likely to be more like 80 minutes. Even though I’m likely to run D&D, just due to my familiarity, I’ll likely keep much of the mechanics on my...

Yeah, I’m strongly considering buying it.

This is the first I've heard of Thousand Year Old Vampire, but the concept definitely intrigues me.

I'll likely just provide the girls with dice of my own for them to use. Letting them take their d20 home with them at the end of the night might be an idea though.

I'll check out Delian Tomb. That may be a bit long, but might give me some ideas at least. Highlighting things in different colours to make for ease of play at the table is a great idea, as is having a paragraph or dot points on the PCs personalities is a great idea too.

Yeah, with 8 of them, you’d hope that’s the case. I’ll definitely take an open mind to their suggestions. I don’t want to box them into finding the one and only solution.

Cheers!

Unfortunately I know of Shadowdark, but that’s about it.

Yeah, I have some 5-room dungeons I might look at, just to see if anything sparks my imagination. I definitely think a trap, simple puzzle or skill challenge to overcome is a good non-combat option. I just need to make sure I keep the pace going with that as it could cause the game to get stuck.

Determining initiative order like that sounds like a good option to keep it simple. Plus the girls know when they’re up next. If you have a link to simplified sheets, that would be great. I also like the 60 minute suggestion. Possibly the location they’re exploring is about to collapse, so...

Yeah, super aware of that. And I think you’re right about needing to ignore most of the rules. The rule of fast decisions will be my guide as DM, especially as it will be a challenge to keep all the girls engaged in the game when there is very little individual screen time with 8 players.
