[QUOTE="halfling rogue, post: 6430859, member: 6779182"] So we were able to play a few more sessions...I'll not give a play by play like my last post but I will highlight a couple things pertinent to playing with young kids. My 4 year old is having a blast. She said maybe one of the most cute/horrible things you've ever heard a little girl say. Me as DM: "Okay what do you want to do?" My cute 4 year old daughter: "Stab him in the heart!" She sounded like she was about to eat ice cream... Initially my 10 year old didn't want to play the second session. Not that she didn't want to ever play again, but she wanted to do something else. I couldn't let the other two down, so we decided that her character would be guarding some treasure that they had found while the others went to scout. She must have heard all of the fun we were having because after about 10 minutes she ran in to join us in the middle of a fight. I allowed her character to come in at just the right time to turn the tide. We didn't play with mini's again. We ended our last session with the clearing out of the Cragmaw Hideout. (Okay, quick play by play because it was so fun). They climbed the chimney and worked their way backwards. Killed Klarg and goons, chased a guard across the bridge into the goblin den "guns blazing". The instant they entered, they asked no questions. My son chucked a spear at Yeemik, quickly followed by an arrow from my 4 year old. They made the rolls and Yeemik was dead before he knew what hit him. The rest of the fight was fierce and the explorer went down, to the fear (and anxious delight) of us all. The fight ended and she recovered. I'm starting to see some different gaming styles play out. My oldest daughter wants to carefully explore every option. My son wants to kill and take the treasure. My 4 year old is happy pretty much as long as she can stab goblins in the heart. [/QUOTE]
