RPG Adventure for a 4-year-old

[Sadrik]

Great thread I also designed a game for my 5 year old son. It was such a hit I started using it with my adult friends too (last night even). There is enough oomph to make it good at that level too but simple enough so the kids can get it.

My older son 9 and now 6 year old son have played several setting: star wars, fantasy, sci-fi power armor blasting undead and an asian setting (avatar like). My younger one even ran his own game the exploits are attached.

Use a boardgame, like you're doing with Settlers of Catan, and play it like a roleplaying game.

I highly recommend Incan Gold as a press-your-luck style cards/counting game for kids: it's easy to push an Indiana Jones role-playing vibe into it.

I've been recounting my 6 year old son's adventures on the first level of my version of Greyhawk Castle, if you're interested in that (we don't have daughters, though, so it's a very boyish campaign ).
