I just gave my 6, almost 7, year old daughter a shot at the table. Detailed here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/281367-introducing-younger-generation.html It was a great time and she's already asking when she can play again. It really is special to me that she has the...

My suggestion is don't copy anything here, sure, use it for inspiration, but look at how your players fight. Mine love to pull things into melee as the fighter, rogue, and warlord have minimal range. They love walls of fire to control the field and a lot of burst/blast powers, that kind of...

I'm a dundjunni guy. I have minimal art skills and this works easy for me. I would disagree about the learning curve. If you want to just get the grid, some walls/floors, and a couple objects, run through the tutorial(1 hour) and it's a piece of cake.

I would look for a system that is quick to play. I play 4E every other week, but would I want to teach my wife using it, probably not, she'd get bored and distracted waiting for her turn. If I went with AD&D, combat typically moves quicker and there are classes that are much less complicated...

How old is he now? At 6, soon to be 7, just letting my daughter stay up till after 9:30 was a big deal for her. Letting her roll the dice for someone presents an interesting option, as one of our players won't be at the next session. Someone can play him, but she could roll the dice till she...

That is how it all started, she liked my "pretty" dice. Then, the players all purchased minis and she was hooked. She already has her own mini, and a backup, because she's 6 and you never know when you'll need a second mini. My cousin who plays in the group has a son the same age as my...

Last night, my group of almost 2 years did something special, they let my 6 year old daughter join them for a brief, 1 hour, delve. She has been watching us since the start and she and I have played a little, but never actually statting up a character and playing. We decided to use AD&D as...

How could I forget the new Dr Who game? Add that to my list as well as GURPS. It's been around since the dawn of time. I owe it to myself to someday give it a try.

In recognition of the thread about games you own, but haven't played, I'm creating the opposite...games you want to play, but don't own, and can't find someone to play with...I want to know what people are interested in. For me: Savage Worlds - I'm getting tired of hearing how awesome this is...

Most of mine are older systems Stargate SG-1 Dr Who FASA D&D 3E Lejendary Adventure Dark Sun Faery's Tale I'm winding my way through the Savage Worlds manual and hope to run that in the next couple months.

We try to go the whole nine yards. For us, a delve is more than just another D&D night. It's a chance to experience playing another class and race, so we want all the tools at our disposal. It's proven to be lots of fun and keeps us from wanting to try to change our characters in the main...

We've been playing 4E for almost 2 years now. We recently tried an AD&D delve, which everyone loved, and will be looking to give Savage Worlds, Mutants & Masterminds, and maybe Traveller a try in the next 6-12 months.

Geez, I never meant for this to degenerate into an edition war, but I should have known better. First off, what I found VERY interesting at my table was a bunch of guys, a couple of whom had played AD&D together, had the exact same rule tweaks as the guys they hadn't played with. So while it...

Last night, after a bit of planning, my regular group had a bonus session. We usually play every other Tuesday, but everyone was available, so we decided to put 4E away and give AD&D a try. Most of us grew up playing it, but had a fair amount of fog clouding our memories. In the end, 5...

I'd really like to see either a source book, or campaign setting dealing with the Far Realm. That could certainly work as a very different setting. I do believe it will be something new. Now it's just a matter of patience...my 6 year old told me the other day, she doesn't have patience...

For the endurance checks, I started with a DC 10. I also had level 12 guys running though it. You might want to start with a 6 or even 4. It's going to climb, fast. After 6 rounds, it will be 18 or 16. You could also start it slightly higher, but only increase it by 1 each round. I liked...

I recently ran a skill challenge that might give you some ideas. The characters were being chased across a large open area, with ghouls closing in from every side. This diverges a bit from the typical skill challenge, but it played VERY well. Everyone needs to get 6 endurance successes. Round...

There is one more reason. My younger brother started up a third round as well. He's more athletic than I am, but I do love beating him in push up count every week...It's something for us to have in common and as sappy as it sounds, it's just one more thing for us to talk about together...

That's an interesting question. Yes, I would like to lean down some. I'm built like an ox, but at 6-3 and 250 lbs, the six pack is still stashed in the fridge. That being said, I've always been fairly athletic. I was heavy into the gym for years, even teaching classes for a couple years...

I started round 3 today. Follow along at Josh's Fitness Blog I'm using google docs to keep all my stats, so you'll be able to follow along if you're interested. My brother and I do this and work against each other. We made huge gains knowing what the other did...and having to top it.
