I wouldn't be abandoning him to do it all himself, but at the same time, I don't want to sit by and do it all for him and leave him bored.Another issue that I was thinking about was telling the difference between all the dice, but I got round that by purchasing a batch of different coloured dice (d20s are purple, d6s are yellow, d8s are white, etc...) so that at least I can say to the kids "Grab a purple d20, roll it and see if you hit him" sort of thing, in the hope that this keeps things a bit simpler.I have also decided to start them off with only the Core Rulebook, at least for a few sessions until I see that they can manage that, but I have the APG and just got an electronic copy of Ultimate Magic (which will be in hardback form once I start my summer work).Other than that, if you believe I am not being outrageously stupid with this idea, any suggestions of modules or scenarios that you think could be fun and kid-friendly it would be great to hear your opinions, failing that, I will try to come up with some sort of story on my own.Anyways, if you have any thoughts, suggestions, or insults relating to my stupidity, then feel free to send them my way and I will take them on board.Thanks,Nimmo</blockquote>
