My 13 year old Daughter and her friends are playing D&D in the Kitchen...

[Morpheus]

Why wasn't it like this when I was a kid?

You ain't kidding!

 

[Teflon Billy]

...and you aren't playing...why?

Becasue I hate my children or course

Seriously, it's because I doubt they want an old man hanging around with them while they have their fun.

 

[Teflon Billy]

So, what is their game like? Dungeon crawl? hack and slash? heavy on the role playing?

Well, it's their usual game which is far too surreal for me to explain without it sounding like nonsense.

I'll give you a flashback to an earlier game of theirs....

The Players, as they are leaving a town where they just traded a Merchant's Daughter they rescued for a reward of a "Basket of Apples that change the color of your hair when you eat them" ( :\ ), are suddnly ambushed by a Giant, hopping Brain which appears to be spitting arrows at them.

They are understandably freaked out and spurr their horses to get away from the brain. On of the girls throws a spear at the brain, and it screams, and from inside it run two goblins--one of whom was Carrying the "Brain Costume" and looking out a hole, while the other fired a crossbow out the hole he was looking out of. The one who could see was basically "directing the fire" of the crossbowman.

They turn around and massacre the goblins, and find a Talking, flying Cat as treaure.

She's a good DM. First rule of DMing... know your audience!

Sounds like they're having a real blast. Cool stuff!

Well, gee, obviously it's a MAGIC brain costume.

You need to get them writing a book or something, this is untapped creativity!!! THink how well it worked for Dextra and Hound when their daughters made a book.

Wow, that may be weirder than some of my campaigns, and that's saying quite a lot

 

[IronWolf]

Too cool! We'll see if my boy picks up the game or not when he gets a little older!

 

[Rabelais]

Wow, that's pretty amazing. Actually, it sounds like a fun game. A Brain costume?

 

[WayneLigon]

It's a Professional Development day for their school and they--the pretty, popular girls (and one boy)--are in there playing D&D.

The world has gone mad.

Good

A friend of mine has a 14-year-old son that just ran his first game for his friends this past weekend, after playing with the adults for a couple years. One of his other buddies has GMed for the teen group as well. As she told me, the kid's dad looks in on his son Gming, turns to her and wipes an imaginary tear from his eye. "He's making secret rolls behind the screen and he just gave a +4 vorpal weapon to a second level character. I'm so proud...".
