Kids Easy Play RPG

I have a question. When googling around for RPG's playable by kids, this game is mentioned several times as a rules light version of DnD in 32 pages. It is supposedly a free game, put out by somebody as a fan-game.

I cannot find a copy anywhere on the intertubes however, so I thought I'd ask here. Does anyone have a copy? I'd like to get my hands on it...

I'd never heard of that before, but I found the original source pretty easily (as I imagine you probably did as well) and it appears to no longer be available. Couldn't find an alternate source.

Wizards actually just published a mini RPG for kids called Heroes of Hesiod. It's a free download, only a few pages. It's a nice intro, but it's also really, really shallow, and I think you'd be hard pressed to get very much use out of it. You could probably stretch it for an extra adventure or two, but...

Another option might be Microlite20, an RPG designed to be compatible with most d20 adventures and supplements, but whose rules fit on a single sheet of paper.
 



I've been successfully running "D&D" for my two nephews (ages 10 and 7) using Microlite20 for awhile now. It's rules lite enough that they can understand how to play, but still meaty enough to teach basic RPG terminology and techniques. Being able to pull one out anything from my d20 library that catches their interest and imagination and easily port it in for their enjoyment is an added plus.
 



There's also the rpgKids RPG System which can be found at NewbieDM's website. He based it on D&D 4E because his four-year-old daughter wanted to play, but he felt D&D 4E was too complex for her at that age.
