[QUOTE="halfling rogue, post: 6546036, member: 6779182"] So funny. This came up not but a few days after this thread. This weekend we were snowed in so we played two sessions and my 7 year old son brought up being a DM. He's having a birthday soon and wanted a couple friends to come over to play D&D and he went on telling me how he'll be the DM and I can be his assistant. He has no concept that there are rules, or if he does he doesn't care. I told him if he wanted to DM that he needed to be in control of the entire adventure and that he'd need to have a story for the players to play, but also to let them be the ones to control where the story goes. So that night he's literally nonstop telling me all about his plans for his game. He's going to have them start an adventure in a town called Wall-town (there is a wall surrounding the town of course) and there is a distant castle full of goblins and dragons. Seriously. He figures there are about 1 billion goblins and maybe 100,000 archer warriors that will sneak in the trees. Maybe around a million dragons, but there is also a gold dragon who is good and can kill millions of goblins with one wave of fire breath (which...I guess is good, all things considered) I can't figure out if they are marching on Wall-town (only 10 houses in the town...) to attack or if the party will travel to the castle to rescue some people.
