Elder goblinYo #TTRPG folks,
What are the best tabletop games to get your kid into RPGs?
Steffi ✨🌒🌕🌘✨@beardedgoblin #Mausritter is a good one.

@beardedgoblin how old is the kid? Mausritter is amazing for younger folks imho
@luigirenna
she's definitely not ready for anything YET, just gathering ideas.

@beardedgoblin I am in a similar situation TBH. A few years before mine can start, and already planning ;)
Phil, warden@beardedgoblin In my experience, kids not being really fluent with numbers yet, and also not used to CRPGs, react really well to narrative games and not as well to trad games. I mean they will enjoy trad games, but will only hack and slash their way.
Best gaming I had running for my kids was root, a pbta game adapted from the board game.
jasondotjson@beardedgoblin what kind of fiction is the kid into?
The cop out answer is whatever they're excited about but I've heard good things about quest, icrpg, and most PbTAs, and they're all relatively easy to learn.

She's not into anything yet, too young right now. Just getting ideas for later.

sbszine@beardedgoblin InSpectres! It's mechanically light, and has some structured improv bits in an otherwise trad system.
Yeray ✏️ ✂️ 🎲@beardedgoblin +1 yo Mausritter, also FATE Accelerated and even Dungeon World is the kid is slightly older.
Jens Hjerrild Poder@carbonara @beardedgoblin I love FATE. But isn’t the system a little to cerebral for the younglings? Mausritter is great.
@jenspoder @beardedgoblin I used a trimmed down version last summer with my nieces (6 at the time) and it worked well. Imagination and enthusiasm more than makes up for any glitches in the system.
Andreas@beardedgoblin depends on what the kids are into, but in general DnD for it's easy rules, Tales from the Loop for it's themes, and maybe something like Kids on Bikes / Brooms for the rules liteness
Phil@beardedgoblin any game that you will play enthusiastically with them
Seamus Conneely@beardedgoblin Power Outage is designed with playing with your kids in mind. Little Wizards from Crafty Gaming is another one. Ryuutama or Fabula Ultima are also, I think, pretty solid options just based on their complexity level and general vibe.
Umbra@beardedgoblin The secret answer is anything you're into. If you're passionate about something, the kid will see that and probably latch onto it too. (Unless they're in that "defiant teen" stage, of course, but I guess that isn't the case.)
ZakRulz he/him 🖤🩶🤍💜@beardedgoblin Pip System is a great introduction to TTRPGs for younger folks. Pugmire cause kids like dogs.
Grandlesticks (he/him)@beardedgoblin Heroes of Cerulea!

I designed it actually, so I've played it a lot. (And I might be a little biased). My five year old son is also a big fan for what it's worth.
PuzzledByMuch@beardedgoblin Woohoo! Good luck on discovering together!
Our first game was Brave Little Bunnies. Available on DTRPG. Played from about 3.5 years.
We migrated to No Thank you, Evil! after that, which was a fairly smooth transition.
Approached more complex games from about 8.
