Gospog
First Post
Last weekend, my nephew and neice (ages 14 and 12, respectively) slept over Uncle Gospog's house.
After watching LotR on a PC projector (on the wall), I introduced them to the joys of roleplaying. The system?
QLM, of course!
This group was a litle more conventional than the last (see my other post, "Bringing Games to the Gameless", don't have the link handy). The kids seemed to already be somewhat familiar with the genre (not a big surprise, actually).
The lovely Mrs. Gospog set a good example by playing "Bewinda the dwiff", a female dwarf with a full beard and a speech impediment.
My nephew immediately jumped at the chance to play a Wizard. I think his name was Zorak. He also carried a sword "Gandalf style".
My neice was an elf, but had a single spell (healing). In classic D&D terms, her elf, Moonwhisper, was the "cleric" of the group.
The first game went really, really well! They fought orcs, almost died, and negotiated with an ogre to retrieve the stolen Crown of Command. The heroes and the ogre split the reward money.
After the first game, they DEMANDED a second. I complied, and it went equally well. (returning a lost wedding ring to a prince)
Needless to say, the third short session ended just after midnight.
Both kids asked me for copies of the rules (easy enough - one page) and plan to run QLM for thier friends!
QLM, it's spreading...one page at a time!
