Beyond the Crystal Caverns, if you can find a copy, would be a great game for her I suspect.

If you play it like a little girl and talk to people you could stroll through many of the encounters. If you play it like a little boy and try to hit everything, it will end badly. Plus, unicorns.
 

I started playing D&D when I was a kid, and we didn't think to have any "kid-friendly" versions of the adventures. If we had we probably would have stopped playing.

Brings to mind the quote about monsters and the fighting of them. Scary fairytales are good for you is what I think.

Edit: this quote: 'Fairy tales don't tell children there are monsters. They know there are monsters. Fairy tales tell them monsters can be killed.' (attributed to GKC)

I didn't know I was a little girl. But unicorns are kind of cool.

I guess that also makes my girlfriend a little boy.

Wow, that's a weird to thing to say.

(amended because Danny said so: I'm not a little girl, and my girlfriend is not a little boy. She could kick my ass any time.) :)

What was this thread about, anyway? I kind of lost my track near those crystal stars you need to fly through (why do they keep blocking mountain paths with them?):

You might want to amend & clarify that statement for any law enforcement agents who may decide to scour the Internet for everything about you in the future...

Maybe, but if I'm a little girl wouldn't they go after him, eh, her, umm..huh. I'm confused. But that's normal.

Edit: sorry, I just turn into this sarcastic snark now and again. I see someone say something like 'that guy throws like a girl' and this thought pops into my head 'No. He throws badly. Girls don't tend to throw as much as boys, I guess, so they don't generally learn it that well, so I see why you'd be confused by that, but he's still clearly a guy, and saying something like that just sounds, I don't know, cliche. And maybe people saying things like that is why girls don't like throwing so much, and then that partly causes the whole cliche. So please stop saying it.' :D

My little girl doesn't want to play all talky and unicorns. (Not that she's against the RP side of things, and she was smart enough to talk to the white dragon, even though she realized it was evil, instead of jumping into a really deadly fight.) She wants to confront evil and defeat it.
 

For boy and girl gamers, I recommend securing a collection of the complete Calvin and Hobbes. Mine the storylines for adventure ideas--quickly. Then gift the book to the child.
 

I decided on the outline of the adventure and started on the maps last night. My group uses a projector, so she asked that we use it for her as well. So maptools it is.

The last time we played, they chased an evil wizard up his tower, but he escaped. Well, he's back again. He's kidnapped the princess and all of her friends(exact number of party members), and turned them into Pegasi. Once again, wizards tower. There will be an encounter outside to get in. Either RP or Combat.

On the first level of the tower will be an encounter with skeletons, and a bunch of traps.

Second level, puzzle

On the third level, they'll find the Wizard, he's trying to animate a dragon statue. There will be combat and the wizard will flee, riding the dragon. The heroes will recover the pegasi, but have no way to turn them back into the princess and her friends. Hence, setting up the sequel adventure, probably around Christmas. It also sets up a great chase scene where the heroes ride the pegasi and chase the wizard who is riding the dragon.

A little of this, a little of that, and I suspect she will be very pleased.
