For some considerable time our games of D&D, played at the various abodes of the players, have had a variety of watchers, or onlookers, make that would-be dice rollers.My players have children, not all of them, and some of them more than others; certainly enough for an adventuring party, and so it proved.I don’t remember whose idea it was, certainly not mine- I’ve DMed kids before, see “The Lost Boys” one of my earlier story hours. This time around however every child came with his or helper, for some this was a necessity, for others a burden.And so we have-PC'sMr. Benn, Male Human Cleric 1 (Played by Alfie aged 9)Harann, Female Dragonborn Fighter 1 (Played by Spider* aged about 4)Varis, Male Elf Ranger 1 (Played by Luka aged 9 or 10)Quarion, Male Eladrin Rogue 1 (Played by Leena aged 11 or 12)Bharash, Male Dragonborn Warlord 1 (Played by Fred aged 13)None of the kids had played D&D before, and I’m sure none of them will ever want to play it again- actually that’s not true. As a precursor to the scenario, The Kobold Hall- from the DM’s Guide, the kids were each given an A4 sheet of paper with a drawing of a Kobold on it, a different Kobold for each of them. Their task was to name the Kobold depicted and to colour them in, of course; I got the images from the internet- all B&W drawings in various styles- alas the images are lost to time. These guys served as the boss Kobolds for the encounters in the Kobold Hall, part of a gang that are wanted by the authorities- each with a reward upon their head, for their capture or else destruction.I don’t remember where the actual PCs came from, they could have been pregens, or else they could have been originals created by the players with a little help from their adult handlers.And so “The Young Ones” set out from Fallcrest one fine day to the Kobold Hall, the short journey is without mishap. The guys eventually find a well used set of stairs hidden by foliage in a stand of trees; the steps lead down in to darkness.The kids pile in, in search of adventure.*Spider is not really called Spider, Spider is in fact his special D&D name...</blockquote>
