"If you are anything like me, your little kids are curious about D&D. I know that when game time comes at my house, my 4 year old daughter loves hanging around the table seeing what we’re doing. She’s full of questions about the minis, maps, and books. It had gotten to the point that she’d been asking me to play with her, so I played fake D&D with the minis and tiles, but with no dice. After a few times of doing that, she wizened up and asked me about the dice. I figured it was time, so I went ahead an invented a quick rpg for us to play together.
"I’m not making claims about being a designer or anything, this was a rough system I quickly put together in order to give her a minimalist rpg experience. Keep in mind, it is very, very simple. In play testing it I found that it would work better with a kid who knows how to add and subtract, although it is certainly not a necessity for them to enjoy it. "
