I have a three year old little girl (she'll soon be four) and she has a good imagination. Naturally, we'd like to steer this in the right direction, so I've been GMing once a week with my family. Right now it is just a homebrew system that we're keeping quite simple. We'll be moving up as we go.

Our first hero is Drella. Her character class is definitely Princess, and while her normal tactic is to use either scorching ray or fireball, she also tends to pull a sword out of hammer space when things get rough.




And this is Ella, my wife's spellcaster. She's very helpful on adventures



Last is Prince McGuffin. He mostly gets kidnapped by ogres, sorcerers, dragons and such.



Our heroes have noted his aptitude for being captured, and have started keeping him from going out by himself for any reason.

Last time our heroes sallied forth, they started out by locking him in a closet until they come back.




I expected this campaign to mostly feel standard (we kill the monsters, save the prince and everyone is happy). But then my little girl realized that some of the monsters can talk- and if they can talk, they can be talked into doing things for them.

My favorite was when they convinced an ogre that the dragon would be tastier than eating them, so he came along (all the time threatening to become too bored or hungry and start eating the party).

Here are the three of them together.

That is really cool. My boy is turning 2 next month. I am counting the months until I can do something like this with him.

I really like Ella's orb and pendant.

Too cute.

I like that it's the prince that gets kidnapped and saved by your daughter's princess. A nice empowering role for her early.

I agree with Riddle, Prince McGuffin's (awesome name) predicaments are wonderful fodder for Drella's adventures.

Good stuff, I think Ella is my favorite of the bunch due to her cloak and orb. She kinda has an ewok vibe going on too.

Adorable paint jobs, and it really doesn't show how tiny these guys are. You did yourself proud.

Love the story, and the clever princes.

Thanks.

Yeah, Mouselings are small. I guess the comparison is that the bases are all 25mm Reaper bases they're standing on, so they're all about as short as hobbits.
