Grateful for this game and community
A friend got me into this game, so having no experience with DnD or as a GM I gathered the rules and looked at some adventure sites, then when explaining it to my 5 year old daughter she asked the defining question:
“Is it like my fairy stories?”
So her Shirley Barber fairytale books about pixies and toads and rabbits was adapted into a typical English countryside wood filled with mice trying to get along. I have pretty much made it up as I go, given her a bunch of possible quests to go on, tested using AI to help plan a session, drawn up a bunch of adventure sites based on parks we go to like the duck pond, borrowed plot ideas from other books and fairytales, left out starving to death or travel time and allowed her to fight pretty decently, and tried getting some AI generated art of her characters (which she loved seeing).
We have played 9 or 10 games and have even built up a party of NPCs including a disgraced frog knight, several rabbit-riding mice, an wise rat we saved from slavery, and a chipmunk with a big old Gimli axe and beard. At the moment she is trying to find food to help her local mouse village survive the coming winter, uncovering mysterious disappearing Cheese Factory workers, returning a magical green stone to the nature-loving fairies, and hoping to stop a scary bat cult from taking over a town.
I can’t explain how grateful I am to have found the game and such a clever and creative community of people, coming up with everything from mouse-WW1 to eensy-weensy spider! Your ideas are brilliant, I’ve purchased several packages of content and love it all! I hope one day I can share my own game materials for people who seek adventure in a charming little corner of Greenleaf Forest.
