Last night I played Castles & Crusades with my two little girls and my wife. My wife is really not into RPG’s but my girls kept bugging her to play. This is my girls third time role playing the first two times we played a light version of AD&D. This was also the first time we played with character sheets a map and figs. They loved the figs and it really helped hold their attention.
We first got the important stuff out of the way. Both my girls wanted to be sure their characters had purple swords, purple armor, and purple capes. One does not go adventuring unless they are properly dressed and colors coordinated. When they were satisfied I was told I could begin the adventure.
The adventure went something like this:
Me – OK girls you are on the road headed to a village where all the people have gone missing. It is your job to find out what happened to them and rescue them. As you travel down the road you suddenly find 4 goblins blocking your way. They look like they are about to attack you. Goblins are evil short green creatures that hate people. What do you do?
Wife – well girls I say we try and ride around them
4 year old – dady I run them over with my horse !
Wife – (slack jawed and surprised)
Me – (big BACK-SIDE smile of pride) 
4 year old – (runs down and kills to goblins)
3 year old – dady I shoot them with my bow ( 3 year old kills two goblins)
The game continued like this for an hour then it was time for bed. I went to bed very happy knowing my girls are gamers. Damn good ones too.
