GMing for my wife and 8 year old kid. It's been a very long time, and my memory is not what it used to be, so I need quite the cheat sheet. Bilingual GMing, too, since the language my wife and I speak and the language I speak with my son are two different languages. Starting with Skull and Shackles AP book 1, but in Sandpoint rather than Port Peril.
Characters (using pregens):
Lini. Gnome Druid (my wife). Reason for being in Sandpoint: Business. Selling leather and skins. (shocked me a bit that a druid would do that).
Seelah. Human Paladin (my son). Reason for being in Sandpoint: Goblin hunting. Oh, and Seelah is male now. The hairstyle, maybe?
Kid Seelah session report (Talking about the climb-the-rigging challenge): I worked really hard and really fast and Mommy worked really slow! Hee hee.
Update: My son loved the first session (once his character woke up on the pirate ship. My wife, not so much. Not sure if this is going anywhere, but glad for the practice. We'll be doing a lot of traveling in the next several weeks - I'll keep a d20 in my pocket and see what happens. Might switch to solo adventure for my son.
