I love these posts! When do you think they'll be ready for 'real' RPGing? 5-more years? Lol. That’s great. I love these posts!

I can't wait to play some more RPGs with them. @Eric: Merci for the kudos! I don't know how well my kids will turn out but I will damn well be there to see it. Actually doing some free form storytelling might be a good practice to introduce them to 4e as you talk about on your blog. @Tommi: Gee, you're right. Chatty Kids: the RPG is born! @Malazarti: They are truly astounding kids… and that’s not just because I’m their father. I can’t wait to play some more RPGs with them.

My son makes me improvise Simpsons episodes for him on car rides, with him playing either goblins or robots I have to introduce into the story. Trouble is, I find it highly distracting and I frequently miss my turns. I can't imagine how you roleplayed with TWO children and didn't get lost!

Both kids wanted to control where the story went and were not interested in listening to what the other sibling wanted (typical sibling fighting for the same resources). So when I declared a stop to the game for both, they agreed to work more cooperatively. Letting them discuss in hushed tones in the backseat made it more interesting to them as they were taking their actions outside my influence and had full control. It was all about Narrative Control.
