Core Mechanic
Roll d6 dice pool (pool size from hero card stats). Attacker's highest die vs. defender's highest die — equal or higher hits. Ability tests roll pool vs. target number (4/5/6).
Best For
Parents introducing kids aged 4–10 to tabletop RPGs. Simple enough for young children, with grid combat and pre-made hero cards.
Highlights
Genuinely playable by young children, print-and-play hero cards and stand-ups, included introductory adventure, lots of expansion adventures available
Considerations
Too simple for older players, no character progression system, fantasy-only, requires printing materials
