[QUOTE="TikkchikFenTikktikk, post: 5328280, member: 67494"] Thank you all very much for all the responses. The various recommended games and systems are interesting and I'll look into them when I have a chance. But I'd rather not spend any money if I can help it and I'd rather stick to something vaguely D&Dish since I'm familiar with rolling d20s, setting DCs, and the six ability scores. I would rather not spend any precious time learning a new system. I'm much more interested in what kind of stories and--more importantly--challenges you've successfully put in front of a four-year-old during play that are interesting but don't involve violence as a primary resolution mechanism. Well, a little rational violence is OK, but definitely no traditional "kill monster, take stuff" gaming. "The Quests of Samantha the Red" is a great example of what I was looking for. Anyone else done anything like that? One thing I've been planning is taking liberally from Avatar: the Last Airbender television series. While there was a lot of fighting in it, there was also a lot of really clever episodes like trying to convince two tribes to cross a dangerous canyon together. Man, I love that show so much.
