Live! Dungeon! Action!

So we've been having quite a bit of fun with Dungeon! at the Bingham household. I tell you, there is nothing quite like an Old School dungeon crawl to make fun for the whole family and Dungeon is about as basic a dungeon crawl as you can get (and quite a bit of fun to boot!). I took some video from yesterday's session. My three year old daughter really got into the game and as quite entertaining in her own right. My six year old son Bear really is into the game. Looks like I've got a few old school delvers in the making!



Here's Rosa showing off her awesome dice rolling technique:



Rosa loses to a monster:



Rosa beats a werewolf:



Many more adventures to follow I'm sure!

    Oh man, I love how the dice go flying across the floor. That is so cute and I agree with Whisk, that family time is so precious!

    The family time is indeed precious. We tend to do a lot projects and the like together. We decided long ago to not have a TV (well, we have one but it is only hooked up to a DVD player). So no TV and no video games. We do lots of board games and lots of art projects.

    My daughter really got into playing Dungeon! It was pretty funny (as you can see from the videos). She actually ended up winnig. I think that had to do with her not having any preconcieved notions and she really didn't care one way or another about winning. She just wanted to see what kind of scary monster was in the next room. Pure gaming goodness.

    This could be the future of roleplaying. Maybe games should be played standing up to really get a feel for the exertions, and dice thrown as if swinging a weapon. It started here with Rosa!

    Pure gaming goodness, indeed. Thanks for dropping by. Your lunch sounds fantastic. Now, if I could just teleport you, my teleport machine, then I could try some, too.

Neurodiversity and Dragons - the adventure begins!

  Tl;dr: Kia ora all! I don’t often post much about my personal life, but as a parent of two neurodiverse teens, I reckoned that I’d post some of my experience in gaming here on our journey. My daughter was diagnosed with autism almost a year ago and my son is dyslexic/dysgraphia with ADHD like presentation. Both are incredibly bright and very different from each other (my son has lots of friends and is very bright and gregarious if also very lazy while my daughter is very retreating and shy but incredibly driven and motivated). They both love fantasy and fantasy literature, movies and gaming has been a way for us all to connect. Though often what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work for the other. This brings me to my point, I am working on trying to best accommodate the needs of my neurodiverse daughter and include her in an experience that she very much wants to participate in, but often feels frustrated and overwhelmed by. This is an introduction to our journey so far.   For s

I like pie!

Cyclopeatron made an interesting blog post which I tend to agree with. Most conent posts don't get responses but opinion posts do. I've noticed the trend in my own blogging as well. There is some incredibly interesting content being generated out there in OSR blog land. I think folks tend to react more to opinion pieces because no one really wants to 1) either say your stuff sucks on a blog post or 2) only say "that's cool man". I tell you what, I cherish the "that's cool man posts", it at tleast let's me know folks are paying attention. As to the your stuff sucks, well those are OK too as long as they tell me why they think my stuff sucks so I know how to try and improve it. At any rate, I like pie. It even tastes better when I had to kill an orc to get it ;).
