"There is no wealth but life. Life, including all its powers of love, of joy and of admiration. That country is richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest, who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence, both personal and by means of his possessions, over the lives of others."
John Ruskin

My boy's first game


I've just run my boy's first gaming session.  He asked me if he could try "something like D&D", whilst we ate dinner.  He said that he had an idea for a character, so I broke out Wordplay and got him to describe his character in terms of traits.

2 hours later and Magalor the Ranger has successfully rescued a southern wine merchant from the vile grasp of Gnolls and, with the help of his Blacksmith friend (Valkis) recovered the merchant's wagon-load of wares.  Flush with reward money and the adulation of the village, he has bought his first horse and is now eyeing the wider world outside his home village of Stoneburg.

The adventure continues.....

  1. Sounds cool.

    I noticed you list "SF nerd" as one of your labels. If you do not have a system in mind for a science fiction rpg I would recommend X-plorers: http://www.rpgnow.com/product/93802/X-plorers-RPG

    In either case, I wish Magalor luck outside of Stoneburg.

  2. Thank you for the good wishes and the game recommendation. I'm something of a dyed-in-the-wool Traveller fan, but it's always good to be made aware of different games.
