    You can start when they’re as little as 4 and have decent results. I started with mine when they were 5 and 3 with Hero Kids and by the time they hit 6 and 8, they’d graduated to Pathfinder 2 (edit: albeit with a great deal of help/handholding)

    10/10, would indoctrinate children with gateway drugs games again

      That’s awesome to know. I suppose they’re really just a game of “let’s pretend” but with a bit of structure.

        Exactly. I think we actually “started” just by giving them coloring pages of cartoony fantasy creatures and characters and then making up stories about goblins and dragons on our morning walks, which in turn got them excited about their characters and miniatures and rolling dice

          Well that’s pretty much how I already live my life, so it should be an easy transition to indoctrinating my kid into nerdy shit.

          Obviously she’ll rebel and get super into sports or cars or something, but what can you do? 😄
