EZD6 Like Sunday Morning?

I have a handful of family members and friends that have either played tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) or currently play TTRPGs. But I don't know that any of them have ever played TTRPGs with their children. On one hand I can understand it if they haven't, as TTRPGs likely represent an "escape" from the day-to-day world and an opportunity to game with friends. On the other hand, it seems like a wasted opportunity not to spend some quality family time together doing something that the whole family can enjoy and that can benefit their child or children.


TTRPGs are a creative exercise and a collaborative one unless you are playing a solo game. Imagine telling your kids a ghost story that allows your kids to add to the story and make themselves the heroes of the story. Or a story about brave adventurers in a fantasy setting. Or a story about a ragtag starship crew exploring a science fiction universe where a previously undiscovered alien civilization is just waiting to be found. Or a story about a party of plucky Western heroes protecting innocent folks from a villainous band of outlaws. Or a story about a pack of meddling kids and their dog traveling around in a van with a psychedelic paint job that uncovers a mystery that needs solving. The possibilities for telling a "funtastic" story are really only limited by your imaginations.


There are a number of TTRPGs out there that are set in a fantasy setting, in addition to the more well-known Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, that you and your family might enjoy playing together. In the first clip (click on first link below), author and father, R. Chris Wells, gives his take on the EZD6: Master Edition TTRPG. Spoiler alert: he gives it his endorsement. In the second clip (click on the second link below), Dan Masters of Dungeon Craft (aka Professor Dungeonmaster) shares his thoughts on the game. In the third clip (click on the third link below), Dave Thaumavore of Dave Thaumavore RPG Reviews gives us his take on the game. If you like what you see and hear, you can pick up a copy of the game to play with your family and friends at the DriveThruRPG website (click on the final link below).
