[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 2725380, member: 36150"] In keeping in the vein of certain fantasy works already in existence, here's a few ideas: The setting is reality; everyone knows what a toaster, television set and car is. Dragons, faerie, et al exist in a world that threatens to drive them out. The kids inteact with these creatures, learning more about the seelie world and their eventual place in it. You could use the d20 Modern rules, or rules found in the Blue Rose campaign setting (better suited for less violent, more RP-intensive games, IMO). Same setting, different place: The kids can go through a magic wardrobe, mirror, take a magic train, or whatever and appear in a completely new, fantastic world. Here they must make new friends and stop some diabloical plot. Lean away from demons and towards "ugly" creatures, like ogres, goblins, and perhaps even "dark" faerie. One book I've read called [U]Magic Kingdom for Sale -- Sold![/U] by Terry Brooks had an interesting story. A middle-aged man, disenchanted with the doldrums of reality, invests in an alleged magic kingdom for sale. Upon his arrival, he finds an actual tarnished castle, talking animorphic dogs, and the deed for a, well, magic kingdom. There's lots wrong with it, and it's up to the hero to decide if he wants to keep the kingdom or return home. Might be fun for kids to come up with ideas for the kingdom... they'll do all the work for you! You could also take an idea from the video game Kingdom Hearts by Square-Enix (then SquareSoft): Essentially, all the Disney kingdoms are real and being taken over by the King of Nightmares or some such. The hero is given a key (which he also uses as a weapon) that can open doors between worlds and lock away the Nightmare monsters once defeated. And you can't go wrong with Anime. Between Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, DuelMasters, and so on, kids like making things appear from nowhere and making them fight. ;) [/QUOTE]
