Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 7757510" data-attributes="member: 158">With regard to your first paragraph, Looks like you answered your own question <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> - while it's important not too be overly graphic, kids series that don't talk down to the kids, and present them with real-life consequences like death for reckless actions, are far more engaging and popular to kids. If the consequences for actions are too sanitized, kids will usually reject it pretty quickly.Watching this video recently:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbLbEYuDZEA&t=1170" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbLbEYuDZEA&t=1170</a>I was struck by something the show creator said:...And the X-MEN theme music still makes me wish I was driving on the Autobahn doing 200km/h every time I hear it, too. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The Endless Quest thing was already answered. I like it, myself - that title series appealed to my 10-year old self, and I think it should appeal to kids today, too. I remember actually going through one of the old Endless Quest series and actually writing down what spell components the wizard central character used and making pseudo-inventory character sheets for it, even though it wasn't required by the book. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
