Accessible Gateway P&P RPG?

This is why I recommended it, above. No, it’s not an end point - but it’s a great introduction, and the lack of a requirement for a DM makes it very manageable and understandable for kids. Also, since the monster moves are ‘programmed’, a loss becomes “The game killed my character” rather than “dad killed my character.”

Dad probably knows how to fudge die rolls like a good DM… :D

Holy crap, that Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple kickstarter I mentioned has raked in nearly $13,000 - in six days. With 40 to go. Stunning.
