I found this article today on Wired.com's Geek Dad Blog. Here's the intro:
One of the aspects of my geekism, that I've never regretted, is my love for role-playing games. No, not MMORPGs. Not Playstation. Good ol' fashioned paper, pencil, and polyhedron dice role-playing games. Aside from the fact that they promote literacy, social interaction, ethics, and math skills in kids, they're lots of fun. If you've never introduced your kids to RPGs, the holidays are a great time to start. I used to sell these things back in the late 80's (the RPG heyday) So I have a few good suggestions.
The author recommendations must be from his personal collection when he sold them in the late 1980s as they include Runequest and Star Wars D6. He also recommends Champions
I suggested True20 (go figure) and Faery's Tale.
