[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 9593089, member: 4937"] When my girls were young I tried roleplaying these sorts of games of small drama simulating the world of make-believe that small children play in - skinned knees, pickup games of baseball, going fishing at the pond behind the house, having tea with the neighbors, helping groom your best friends horse and clean the stable, cleaning your room, doing homework so you can go catch fireflies, etc. I don't think it will endure. It might be fun for a one shot to play pretend as children do using the sophistication of ourselves as adults, but you don't really need a system for that and it becomes stale rather quickly. This is the reason that before RPGs most people moved on from make believe long before they reached adulthood. No matter how much they love Jane Austin, most adult participants will prefer to roleplay in the world of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies so that they can kick in the doors and slay the monsters.
