Message: <blockquote data-quote="erian_7" data-source="post: 6006151" data-attributes="member: 18222">I wanted to let folks know about a Kickstarter for a game I've been beta testing frm Escapade Games.<a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/springboard/story-realms" target="_blank">Story Realms</a> is focused on a younger gaming crowd as sort of an intro to the RPG hobby in general, but the setting and mechanics are solid enough that I'm already envisioning running a game of Earthdawn using it (I'm also thinking on how the game could be expanded with outside elements like the item and NPC cards from Paizo). It's a narrative system, but with some mechanical aspects to keep things interesting, and it uses a lot of components similar to board games to engage players (but you're not just rolling dice and moving pieces around a board). The art is looking really cool--at least from my perspective as a dad wanting his kids to game and trying to avoid the naked succubus/gore spattered barbarian look... They've got the rules and an adventure posted on the Kickstarter page so you can try it out!They've also got a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EscapadeGames" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> and <a href="http://www.escapadegames.com/storyrealms/" target="_blank">website</a>. It's made by the folks that do the <a href="http://growingupgamers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Growing Up Gamers</a> blog which talks about these couples' numerous adventures in gaming with their kids.</blockquote>
