If you want a really young kid to play tabletop stuff you should play board games with them since kids tend to take to the physicality of it. Something like Loopin' Chewie or Go Cuckoo! maybe.

My 5 year old loves "the spaceship game" aka Galaxy Trucker. She makes her own ships and they usually only have a couple of mistakes (that I let slide or help her fix). So, you know, you don't really have to baby them. Carcassonne would be fine for that age, I think. Just be prepared to help them out a bunch with any game.

To expand I didnt said that to be an rear end in a top hat, I honestly think younger children should just be left to discover what they like themselves and that the trend of the new generation parents who are into "geek stuff" forcing that stuff on their kids is really distressing. Or at least encourage them to like sports and physical exercise instead of being 24/7 watching minecraft youtube streamers on a phone!

The cycle will be complete when children rebelling against their geekcore parents go to the gym and becomes super buff jocks who are really great at sports.

To expand, I said trigger because I checked your post history and saw that you'd called someone a normie in this thread. I don't want to force my kids to do anything they don't want to do, my wife and I like playing board games so I wondered what games there were that are pitched at younger kids. They're also not getting a phone until they're 18.

Yeah, I don't think I've encountered a single child over the age of 12 who didn't have a phone that wasn't a pariah in their peer group. Kids text an awful lot now, and I doubt that's going to change much (maybe they'll use more emojis?) in the next decade or two. Or, to paraphrase a character from a popular children's cartoon: not having a phone doesn't make you interesting, it just makes you the person nobody remembers to invite.

I don't think it's simple projection but I could be wrong. Maybe it's a way of absolving yourself of responsibility? If "I have a good relationship with my kids" is an indicator of good parenting and you say "I reject that" then it's easier to be a good parent. One less value to measure up to. If that makes sense.

"My kids are gonna hate me anyways" is a common enough joke that gets a solid chuckle among parents. Using it as some sort of justification for forcing your child to be a luddite/social pariah is...weird. To answer the original question (are we still talking about that?), my kids learned on Catan Junior. My eleven-year-old daughter now loves regular Catan and Ticket to Ride.

So I made some custom style sheets for Spellbound Kingdoms for a boss fight that went down pretty well with my players. The Lich King one isn't pretty but there were some appropriately pant-making GBS threads moments for the party when one player had an Inspiration-nullifying arrow stuck in him and two others were mind controlled. It's the first time I've homebrewed anything for the system and I'm pleased that it didn't crash and burn horribly. I kind of want to keep doing it for boss fights and maybe write a few more regular combat styles to fill a few gaps that I think exist in the core selection. The actual boss fight itself was the Lich King and a summoned shade of Lord Archer, the setting's equivalent of the Grim Reaper, vs the party in an underground chamber flooded with soul-shredding necrotic water. The party were grappling hooking between pieces of rubble that were islands in the water. When he dropped to zero, the Lich King was resurrected by the chained up corporeal form of Lord Archer who was trapped inside the rib cage of a titanic skeleton. Once they freed Archer, the shade disappeared and they could final kill the Lich. Two supporting NPC wizards were using battlecraft magic to alter the terrain at the player's orders to create temporary bridges and walls and the like. Three of the players had been previously branded by the Lich King's servants with a magical brand which prevented them from resisting Force Obedience and only two of them had managed to remove the brand before the boss fight. It got quite hairy. Meanwhile the party's NPC backup are keeping the bone kraken in the water, the Lich's cultists and his army of summoned zombies occupied while the party take on the Lich. It was crazy. After they jobbed the Lich, the party Trader decided to bend the knee to Lord Archer and has cross-classed into being a Chosen One of Archer. Meanwhile a bunch of the backup NPCs also bent the knee and became vampires, liches or Chosen Ones themselves - this includes some enemies of the party who they temporarily allied with to deal with this whole Lich King situation. Now there's a bunch of vampiric devotees of the Grim Reaper rolling around town. I like the direction the game is taking

How do you deal with classes that don't seem meant for multiclassing once you enter them, like the Chosen One? Just ignoring the Mood penalty? Or will they never switch back to levels in Trader? Also while the thread is being weird I'd like to ask a diversionary question: are there any good systems for reenacting The Fast & The Furious? Outside of like, Car Wars or a system that can be generally applicable to numerous settings like Fate/FAE, that is.

A bunch of friends are working on an Apocalypse-esque game about Nordic Noir, their Kickstarter is already funded. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1369976955/the-quick-tabletop-rpg-of-nordic-noir-ghost-storie?ref=nav_search If you liked series like the Bridge (Nordic version) you might find this interesting.

Spycraft 2.0 probably has the best chase system but is probably one of the crunchiest d20 games to have ever been written, so YMMV. (I really wish they'd put out the trimmed-down Spycraft 3.0 already, I got to play a demo years ago as not-Dom Torreto, which was fun.)
