FATE Accelerated!!!!!So...if anyone has any suggestions for any kid-friendly adventure seeds, I'd be very grateful for your assistance.  I notice that a lot of kids cartoons center around a "rescue" scenario (avoiding violence as the main conflict), so that's always an option, but I'd be happy to hear what anyone might suggest.W00t!!!</blockquote>
