[QUOTE="noko, post: 8112300, member: 7022809"] I look at what you have and can only feel intimidated by the complexity. I was going to suggest Magic Village for Sale by MT Black at $1.95 at Dungeon Master's Guild, thinking all the kids were familiar with the game. I see from your further posts this is incorrect. Do all the kids have working computers? Do they all have Steam and Discord? Can they support Tabletop Simulator? You know, Tabletop Simulator has its own voice chat, assets that you can just pop in without all the overcomplicated mumbo jumbo VTT throws at you, AND you can change the room's appearance with a few clicks. It's on sale right now and you can at least get a 4pack and share the Steam Keys with whoever else is gonna play. Never mind a formal game with expectations and all that complication. Do the kids even want to do this? Is playing D&D online your idea or the birthday host's idea? Throwing a complex game at them online sounds like a recipe for disaster. Get the kids all in a virtual room with one or two easy games and let them rip. Make sure the host has some idea how to work it. They will have a serious blast trying to play the games and knocking the virtual table over with misclicks. Believe me, that is going to go over a whole lot better whatever the age of the kids.
