Kids enjoy the games, enjoy the attention, and cherish the good memories. They do appreciate it. And to adults: sometimes WE lack the wide-open imagination that kids have. Gaming with them can help jump-start our own creative process...and that's a very rewarding thing.<br />: )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-12921392630225884172009-08-05T12:58:52.888-07:002009-08-05T12:58:52.888-07:00For me, I’d like to live like that all the time.

But until we have kids of our own, I’m limited to the odd weekend or week-long baby-sitting gig.</i><br /><br />Oh, it's all different when you have them 24/7. Really. You mostly want to catch up on all the sleep you lost. :)<br /><br /><i>But in Expert, they are a ton of the action when playing strictly by the rules... But for me as DM, it was both clunky and a bit monotonous/repetitive.</i><br /><br />You might consider changing the frequency of rolling and/or the size of the hexes. As written, yeah, wilderness travel is essentially about getting lost and meeting monsters.<br /><br /><i>S. told me that he preferred to have his game set be “as close to the original as possible” and asked that I pencil in the “correct” monster stats and gear costs.</i><br /><br />I love this kid.Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-8652844516856110422009-08-05T09:22:45.331-07:002009-08-05T09:22:45.331-07:00This is all kinds of awesome.

I can indeed vouch for your (fool-hearty) bravery in the face of adversity after your near death at the hands of a swarm of centipedes and a giant spider. :)Mike D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13199531732115178349noreply@blogger.com
