During my daily luminotherapy sessions, I travel the net for some blog goodies.
Through Jeff’s Gameblog and through James’s Lamentation of the Flame Princess, I found a link to an outfit called Brave Halfling Production that currently supports some of the Retro-Clone games out there (i.e. New RPGs inspired by the rulesets of the Original late 70’s RPGs like O D&D and Gamma World).
Last week, the company announced a new game called Kids, Castle & Caves, an apparently simple Fantasy RPG that’s easy to pick up and play with pre-literate children.
You can find it at RPGNow here.
Seeing that I have a vested interest in Roleplaying with Children, I plan to have a look at the product in the coming weeks and do a review.
In the meantime, I started playing an Indiana Jones-inspired story game with Nico, he’s enjoying it immensely, especially the parts where I make his airplane crash whenever he goes somewhere. I may post one of his stories soon.
Have a Great Week.
Hello Chatty,
4th edition makes me think that my kids (10 and 7) would be able to play now. What do you think the minimum age would be to grasp the mechanics of 4th ed?
I’m curious to see what you think of KCC, so I’ll be expecting your review. 😉
Have a nice day!
Mike LeSombres last blog post..Stay tuned!
If you are willing to take over the bookkeeping of PCs and keep powers to a minimum (one at will, one Encounter), 4e works wonders with kids.
My son is 6 and he can play for about one straight hour and enjoys it tremendously.
