I'm mid 40s and the kids grew up on 1ed AD&D and Palladium. They were just playing Palladium FRPG on their own the other day ages 22-14.

My daughter is ready to play with a group, hoping to find people her age that would want to learn and play with her.

Although my oldest is about the same age as I was when I played, they still seem a bit young for it.
My sis has done some as an adult and would ask me for ideas. Recently I jokingly made some characters to give her ideas for new game she was joining. She took it as I wanted in and asked the GM, since they only had 3 and wanted the extra. It’s been a blast. They RP more than I ever did, which I thought was going to be hard for me. It makes things take a LOT longer, but it’s still been fun. Anyway, the girls have shown a little curiosity about what I’m doing but I don’t think enough to actually play. I asked if they wanted to help me make up a new character and they just wandered off to play with ponies. |

Might look into local organized play groups, D&D Adventurer's League for D&D, Pathfinder Society for Pathfinder, starfinder. We have a couple people that have young kids, so they generally organize a game just for them every few months.
Generally they'll have a Facebook group and discord and organize games there or on Warhorn. most of 'us' have moved online, so games are plentiful. Even the cons have moved online. I've played in half a dozen online cons this year, and my weekly games are all online now, using Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, TableTop Simulator and yeah a couple are just us on Zoom being dorks. RPGs, card games, even mini wargames like Warhammer can all be played online with the proper tools. I hope my 5 year old gets into it soon. I've been playing all kinds of RPGs since I was a kid, started in '85. I have a Yuge collection for her to inherit. |

I found a couple of facebook groups, Ill see if I can find something in there maybe. Im surprised more people arent interested. |

@8mmdale My kids are teaching me! Which leads me to ask a question, how can a group of four level 4 PC defeat a Night Hag? Is there a possibility of a defense? I have a feeling our DM is out to teach us a lesson.

I bought her some miniatures to match the characters in the group and she painted them herself with a starter paint kit. What version of the game are you guys playing? We are playing the original 1979 basic and expert set, so there arent monsters that advanced in the game. Ive given my daughters group of characters alot of good gear, it makes it easier for her to focus on decision making and analysis of the situation and less focus on just the combat. |

It’s DnD 5th edition. We’re about two months into it now. It’s been a blast playing, makes me wish I’d learned years ago, but better late than never. It’s been a while since I took the time to learn a new game.

I played original D&D first but I spent more time on AD&D after it came out than anything else by far. I was lucky to run with the motorheads, the metalheads, the jocks, the geeks and the rap crowd during the early 80s, so I was exposed to a lot of stuff. My son and his roommates play all the time now because of the stories I told of the adventures we had as kids
Ahhh the good old days  (But Fantasy Hero / Hero Games is where it's at) |

My older daughter, her boyfriend and some friends have played a couple times. I'm not sure if they know what they're doing but she has funny stories and had a good time so that's all that matters.
 They tried to get me to play and I have always wanted to do it, might jump in one day for laughs.

Quoted: I was at my parents house a couple of weeks ago and found all of my basic dungeons and dragons books, the old red cover book for the basic set and the blue expert book. My 10 year old daughter was interested because of the pictures, so I had her read the book and she like it. So we started a basic adventure that I made in about 15 minutes and she loved it. Now when ever she comes over, thats all she wants to do. But now shes wants to get others to play with her. Do any of you guys have kids that would like to play or learn how to play? We are going to try to play over zoom as soon as I can get her computer set up for it. It would be a family friendly (obviously) game with parents welcome to join in. It would be great to have 4 or 5 people to play. My daughter just got interested in it. I have no clue how to play though. |

They have D&D. I'm waiting for my HeroQuest to come in to start them on that. |

We play on Zoom sometimes, my sister offered to play because my daughter doesnt have alot of friends interested apparently. If you guys want to play let me know. Y |

Too much math and needing to understand the whole system for most. |

I've been playing the D&D board games with my wife and son, but it would be cool to make our own characters/adventures I'd be glad too. Right now, dungeons and dragons is just the 5th edition. Lots of books and lots of rules. I bought the 5th edition players handbook to play with my friends, and as someone who has been playing a long time, Im lost in it. Right now, I am playing the original 1979 basic dungeons and dragons game with my daughter. Its extremely simple to learn, still has the same game play and its been alot of fun. We are using the basic rule book and expert rule book (red and blue covers). I still have my set my mom and dad got me for Christmas in like 1980, which are long since out of print. But you can still get a nice copy on ebay for around 20 bucks a book. I bought my daughter both books for christmas. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dungeons-Dragons-Fantasy-Adventure-Game-Basic-Rulebook-D-D-TSR/402761475295?hash=item5dc67464df:g:x0EAAOSwQ3FgWcjL https://www.ebay.com/itm/EXPERT-RULEBOOK-from-Expert-Rule-Set-1981-Dungeons-Dragons-1st-Edition/174710066418?epid=2254484178&hash=item28ad880cf2:g:YEgAAOSwFNJgYPDC These are the two books we use. I make all the adventures myself for my daughter, so other than dice and some time to read it, thats all you need. My Elsa loves it, we play every weekend shes with me. If you guys wanted to play, we could easily set up a zoom game! |

Can someone answer a 5e Level 5 Ranger question? After gaining the second attack ability, does the second attack also include a primary and a secondary weapon? Does the animal companion also get a double attack?
That would be first attack: primary and secondary weapon Second attack: primary and secondary weapon (or only primary on second attack) Animal attack: claw and bite Second attack: claw and bite (or nothing?) |

That would be first attack: primary and secondary weapon Second attack: primary and secondary weapon (or only primary on second attack) Animal attack: claw and bite Second attack: claw and bite (or nothing?) with 5E RAW - once you gain your animal companion at 3rd level, you can use your action on your turn to attack or command your animal to attack; not both. After 5th level you should only get two total attacks per turn, so it can be two from you or one from you and one from your animal companion. if you're two weapon fighting, it would be: Action - Attack - primary weapon Bonus Action - secondary weapon Action - Animal Companion attack or Primary Weapon attack |

Last time i fired up Tabletop Simulator to explore different WW2/Vietnam games i saw a few D&D games on there. They were all password locked though. Considering how toxic so many people are, i can see why.
I kind of miss D&D with the adlib attitude during play. Board games are stale by comparison. Only works with people that have a sense of humor which seems to be lacking these days. |
