[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 4541190, member: 63508"] I have a "4E kinda" campaign with my 7 yr cousin, 11 year old cousin and two 5 year old godsiblings. Here's what I have learned from those 4 crazy kids: 1) Don't assume they'll use common sense. Small children are unpredictable and do whatever. They will try to burn the forest down instead of searching. They will rob a bank to pay for a glass of milk. They will stab the guard just because. 2) Don't railroad. You can point out the goblins are in the forest a million times but never forced them to go there. Let them use their imaginations. Half the time the miss the hints anyway but the hilarity from what they do instead may be worth it. 3) Don't kill them unless they do many sucidal actions. My cousin prides himself on his ranger's nickname "Half Dead". If they don't want to think before attacking, punish it. Especially with boys. Something they like being a hero and attack things even when losing. My godbrother's wizards die all the time. "But that one was a clone too." [/QUOTE]
