What is this about?

This is about a family who loves to spend time with each other, playing games, and tapping our natural creativity and imaginations.

My daughters, Claire and Megan, and I have played games of some sort for the last 12 years. We have played everything from Candyland to HeroClix. About a year ago, Claire, was playing with some cousins. She had a bow(no arrows) and her cousin had a sword. She came running in and asked "Dad! Can I use some of your dice? We're playing a adventure game and we're going to use dice to see who wins the battles." I swear she thought of this herself.

Taking a cue from this, I looked into tabletop roleplaying games. The criteria I used was that it had to be affordable, customizable, and not overly complicated. I settled on Labyrinth Lord by Goblinoid Games.

So, a couple of weeks ago we created some characters and I setup the game world and we began to play out some scenarios. I was very suprised how well my girls took to this game. They each really put their minds to it and came up with some interesting solutions to the scenarios.

We love playing and we call it "Our Adventure Game" and I will be sharing more as this as it develops.
