I'd like to basically ask the same question as the OP, but state that I am new to RPGs in general. I also have 2 boys aged 8 and 12 who want to play. I would GM.
Is this type of game within reason for those ages and all of our lack of experience? Do I need to read every word of the Core Rulebook? We have the Beginner Box. After we do that, we will do the free AP online. Depending on how it goes, we will be getting a paid one and I was wondering if Aeon is still considered strong for new-comers?
I'll say that being young boys, they just wanna fight stuff for the most part, and explore. I don't anticipate a lot of roleplaying. Is there an AP that is exploration and/or combat heavy?
TIA
