Bili Rockheadminifur

We started rolling up a character for my 5.5 year old son. From the Pathfinder Beginner Box character creation options, he selected the race to be dwarf (probably from all the attention the Hobbit film has been getting in this household) and selected the class to be Wizard. The character concept is to be a wizard/detective, actually.

He rolled really well! So far it has been a great exercise in simple math for him and the difficult task of keeping his younger sister entertained and not sucking on the Pathfinder Pawns that are included. The pawns don't react well to saliva, btw!

This character's name is Bili Rockheadminifur. The pawns for dwarf wizards that came with the Beginner Box are cool, but didn't match Jack's mental image for his character. We're still on the search for the right mini, but printed and cut out this guy who is serving as Bili for now until we find a better mini. -->

Jack's Gaming Experience

I DMed my son in his first RPG experience last night just before bedtime. It ended up being one encounter- the party vs four ghosts in the Haunted Woods. The party encounters a friendly pack of wolves who lead them to the edge of the woods where four ghosts attack. Mom's archer, Tessa, and Dad's NPC wizard, Skytheen, helped Jack's swordsman/knight, Oko, defeat the ghosts. The archer was slimed, but in the end the party won. The chilly creepiness of the woods lifted and the trees whispered their thanks and then pointed in the direction the party needed to go to find the evil Frog Wizard they set out to defeat.

We played the very simple rpgKids game which was perfect for Jack's level of understanding and experience. It's a very nice little package with four great adventures, maps, character counters and everything needed.
