I have 2 boys. Age 7 and 11 now. I have in the past played some heroquest ith them. They liked it.

These days I tend to play games that have a badguy or gamemaster. Imperial assault. dungeon saga. I simplify the rules for them and act more as a dungeon master then opponent. They really dig it. Also x-wing with unnamed pilots and no upgrades.

Lately I started a RPG with them set in the Dragonlance setting. There’s plenty of goofball stuff in that setting to attract kids. They loved meeting filtty stupid Gully dwarves. There’s aslo kender and gnomes. The weird god avatars.

For rules I use the olf World of darkness. Stats go from 1 to 5. every pont in a stat is and extra dice you roll. Every target number hit is a succes. It’s really easy and even my 7 year old got it in a snap.
