My Kids' First Role-Playing Adventure: A Hero Kids Review
The review, which is by +Ryan Carlson, takes a good look at Hero Kids, so here's a few quotes:
"As soon as I had read through the beautiful 20-page PDF I knew without a doubt that my daughters (ages 4 and 6) could easily understand the basics of the game."
"Amongst the four base classes for Hero Kids, there are male and female versions of each class (although there was no female thief), each allowing for a variety of play styles and specialties."
Correction: There are ten heroes in Hero Kids, four girls and five boys. Wait, that doesn't add up to ten! It doesn't add up because the Rogue's gender is ambiguous.
Pop quiz, boy or girl:
"The character sketches of each pre-generated character are age-appropriate, and made it really easy for my kids to identify with the characters. My 4-year-old daughter instantly snatched up the Rapunzel look-alike with her long hair whip-attack..."
"I will admit that there are times I barely have time to prep for my regular role-playing campaign, and to have half a dozen pre-written adventures available for Hero Kids is fantastic."
"The quality of the maps and the provided figurines is as high quality as I find in mainstream pre-written adventures."
"In conclusion, Hero Kids hits the mark in both quality and ease of use for parents that have been looking for a new family-time activity. A great start for young role-players that are ready to take their first steps into a life long story fueled by their own imaginations."
How 'bout that!
