Scenario Recommendation for a Kid


Advice


I've been getting my son (who turns 9 later this month) into role-playing, and something unexpected happened. We were doing Little Trouble in Big Absalom, and while I anticipated us just having our kobolds kill and eat everything, the kid kept trying to make friends with the opposition and find non-violent ways to solve problems.

So, I am looking for suggestions for one-shots (society scenarios or other content of similar length) that rewards creativity and peaceful interaction, has nothing PG-13 that can't be easily skipped/worked around, and is playable by level 1 characters.

Have you read the Influence subsystem? I couldn't tell you which scenarios specifically utilize it (I'll leave that to the PFS players) but the rules for making your own are in the GMG and I've found it quite fun to turn combat encounters into Influence. If you're willing to put in a little elbow grease it could be worth trying.


This thread might also have some ideas you can use

Pathfinder Society scenarios that have non-violent endings or solutions, or are non-violent or focus on non-violence

Sadly I'm not up on a lot of adventures but I just wanted to say how cool that is and I hope you can nurture that temperament. It is always refreshing to have players that are interested in more than just offing everything they come in contact with much less for someone less 'mature'. Might also be a great time to try making up some of your own small adventures and see where they take you!


If I can do a bit of self promotion, I try to put up an encounter every month or two. Most of them are relatively low level and at least 1, 5-11, and 13 are relatively non-combative.

Encounters

Edit: I hate that damn URL tag. And most of them aren't full sessions, although 13/9 were designed together as most of a session.
