Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sam" data-source="post: 1257713" data-attributes="member: 1024">I've got three kids (11 & 4 year old girls, and an 8 year old boy).  The two older ones like to play.  We play in a simple setting where they are in a school (think Hogwarts) for adventurers and get sent on missions through magical doors (portals) to various dungeons and areas throughout the world.  The 4 year old plays too, but she just likes moving her miniature around.  Oh, and my wife plays, though she spends most of the time running the 4 year old's character in addition to her own. I got them interested when I brought home the gold box Adventure Game in spring of 2001.  I hadn't played since 1e days, though I've continued to enjoy the CRPG versions of D&D.  The Adventure game got me and my wife (who wasn't a gamer at all until this point) hooked, and my kids really enjoyed it.  Altalazar, I'm sure there will be a 4th (or 5th) edition by the time your pending kids will be ready to play, but look for the Adventure Game version that's available then.  I can't recommend it enough for new players, especially kids.  There are pregenerated characters with a limited set of information on the sheets, so there isn't this daunting amount of data being presented to any new players.  I think the new D&D Basic is going to take the place of the Adventure Game, but don't take my word for it. We don't play on scheduled basis, though we probably wind up playing once every three weeks or so.  This will likely change and become more regular (and frequent) with the winter months arriving, and soccer doesn't monopolize the weekends as much.  They do like to watch when my gaming group comes over on Friday nights to play.</blockquote>
