Introducing a Child to D&D

[Silver Moon]

My suggestion for introducing young ones to role playing and miniatures gaming is the game "Fuzzy Heroes". That's what I initially used.

Well done. You should check out Rel's posts...his adventure with the little one warmed my heart.

This fella has posted about his kids and their adventures with D&D... You might try chatting him up.

To quote The Princess Bride: "I do not think that means what you think it means."

The old HeroQuest boardgame is also a pretty good "bridge" to rpgs.

My oldest daughter got interested at around 9 years old. I started her out with the DDM game to get her used to some of the concepts.

She's played a few "real" D&D games, and just recently joined my monthly Mutants & Masterminds group (though her character is very anime-cat-girl based).

She picked cheetah as her race. Munchikin!

How come they only get a speed of 30ft? I thought that they're meant to be fast?

That's what happens when you ask a 7-year-old what kind of character she wants to play.

I've introduced several young people to RPGs, though none under age 10...

Were I to do so, I'd probably start off with versions of things like Aesop's Fables, Grimm's Fairy tales, and/or whatever kind of stuff I'm sure the kid has read (or been read).

I agree with Thunderfoot- it sounds like you're doing a good job!
