[QUOTE="Joël of the FoS, post: 3821011, member: 17665"] My kids started at age 7 and 8. They chose what kind of class they wanted to do, and to make things simple, I made them a caracter sheet, level 1. The only thing they had to do was put the name. Combat were extremely simplified. At their initiative, they threw a d20, and if they got to 13, they hit. Sometimes, when the monster was tougher, they had to reach 16. With the years passing, I added more rules, one at a time. We used battle mats and figurine so they quickly saw where they were, and where were the monsters. Expect weird and funny things not in the book like "I don't want to fight him: I put my pillow sheet over his head and run" :) At the start, the adventures were often of the fairytale kind "save the princess", "find the thief who stole all the prince's candies", "big evil black cavalier coming to attack the castle", etc. Then I introduced them to a soft version of Ravenloft :) ([I]The Created[/I], the Odiare adventure, with its Pinnochio spinoff, is a great one for kids to use their brain). It was a lot of fun. Now they are 13 and 15, and my son is still playing. Joël [/QUOTE]
