We are often playing Hero kids RPG that uses the count successes mechanics and my kid loves it.<br />In 5Core measuring part may be a problem, so I think I will stay with sticks and go for Song of blades and Heroes next.Aleksandar Šaranachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406676973370262613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213548627438921801.post-47544005890634555312016-08-19T03:35:31.300+02:002016-08-19T03:35:31.300+02:00Luckily not mine!

Another reason to try out 5Core with them.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213548627438921801.post-57692874789856827882016-08-19T03:15:37.437+02:002016-08-19T03:15:37.437+02:00I've found with some kids, having an "opp...I've found with some kids, having an "opposed" or "saving roll" can put them off, because they get excited about a good roll, then it's "taken away".<br /><br />Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873440251698488032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213548627438921801.post-16097023814271167702016-08-18T13:04:56.059+02:002016-08-18T13:04:56.059+02:00Thanks for posting this. i have their other rules...Thanks for posting this. i have their other rules LasterBlade and BattleBlade but they are d10 and was thinking of converting them to use d6 instead. It is good to know there is a d6 precursor. And you are playing with a 6 year old! I am starting to realise my children are a lot better with increasing a decreasing the dice rolled and counting successes (e.g. 5 and 6s are a hit). So roll 3 6 to hit, 2d6 if in cover. We have actually been doing this for years with our modified WarHammerQuest combat rules (my children were 5 and 7 when we started with WHQ). While I have been rolling d6s for so long I can add and subtract modifiers in my head without even thinking about it, I am (finally some may say) seeing the advantage of multiple d6s. So long as it is a small number being rolled! I am thinking of trying them out with 5Core skirmish or something like that as there are no modifiers to the dice roll, just the number of dice.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.com
