[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 5073440, member: 20854"] My 13 year old son loves to play, and wishes we would play more often. He's making his own dungeon (with Labyrinth Lord rules) that he runs, sometimes., but usually when he plays, I run the game. My daughters are 10 and 7. They've tried D&D, but quickly get bored with it. However, I recently started running a game using The Pool rules and having them play faeries. They took to that (and the narrative control aspect of The Pool) like fish to water, and bug me to run "the faerie game" for them. My youngest son is 5. He hasn't played D&D, but he tried "the faerie game" and liked it. However, he gets too excited to play for very long. Just a few "scenes" into the game and he runs off from the table to act out the action on his own. Our problem, as a family, is that we have too many games and too little time. More often than RPGs, we play boardgames, and they kids are into video and computer games, too. (I used to be into computer gaming, but they seem kind of limited and boring to me, these days. Although I still enjoy some of the "twitch" games like Quake 4 and such.) [/QUOTE]
