I’ve a 5yo and a 3yo. I had been reading them books at bedtime, and one night I made something up.

The next night they told me “We don’t want a story from a book, we want a story from your lungs.”

So now, when they want me to make something up, they ask for “a story from your lungs.”

@Tom: I’m happy that you did! Good stuff, especially about sparing that Goblin’s life.

@Avaril (and all other new readers): Welcome to the Blog, I hope you enjoy your stay! Thanks for the praise.

I thought about, when I have kids, telling them the story of my 2nd Edition Paladin (he is the namesake for the ID I’m using). But, this seems even better. I’ve popped over here to CDM a time or two, but after this post, this blog is going into my bookmarks. Cheers, and keep us updated on the adventures of Nico!

I love kids – they’re great. My daughter is only 2, but I can’t wait to tell stories like this with her…

My son is only 18 months old, but I look forward to the time when I can start this sort of thing with him. Its one thing to be read to as a child but another thing to be a part of the story, making it your own. Czars last blog post..One more CzArcade mod.

Chatty, you rock. So totally love the way you captured his imagination. And yes, there are a whole lot of “lessons” in this. Being a teacher (passion, not profession atm), I think ooh I could use this. As a parent, you’re a great teacher. Rock on and please update!

Hi Philippe!

It’s always nice to see when hardcore crunch-loving players and freeform haters gain insights into playing that broaden their horizons

Yes-Play was, I gather, a form of play you haven’t used very often before, and the freedom it entails was an epiphany for you.

Interestingly enough, Yes-Play is a technique coming from the field of improvisational theater, which works almost exclusively with a great deal of handwaving and no crunch at all.

So, a crunch-lover like you experienced the joy of fluffy play

Yes, please continue the story. It’s like being in a PBP game with you as DM but I don’t have any responsibilities! Plus, Nico is a really good player, it seems.

When rehasing the story with the whole family while driving to my brother in-law’s, Nico pointed out that I had forgotten one detail in my re-telling:

Laurelie, Nico’s little sister, also has a power. She ‘knows’ about things and is available to answer any question Nico has if he gets stuck somewhere in his quest.

Why wait to have kids people?

Why not do it at the next game with your players?

Awesome post!
This really brought back memories. I’d forgotten that my parents used to ask me to tell them a story before bed and they’d occasionally further the plot or details by asking questions. It’s very much like what you’re doing. I’ll have to remember this when I have kids.

I just translated all your comments to my son.

Nico says:

I’ll always continue playing stories with my dad. Thank all your friends on the computer for all the nice comments. I really like when Daddy asks me questions and tell me what happens after.

Now can I play with the computer now?

Dad? Did you just write that? Coooome on!

Chatty: Thank you all. That’s more validation that I can handle! =) Now I’ll fire miniclips.com for Nico.
