Hi, this might be a bit of an out there request, but I'm looking into finding an RPG group for my son (recently became 8 years old). He's an active kid who is really into gaming (video and board games alike), making stories, ...
We've tried some of the more typical social activities (group outings, sports, ...) but it feels to us that it never really works out.
Having a background in gaming (tabletop RPGs, LARPs, board games, video games, ...) and not having had an extensive social life outside of that, we figured it might be time to see if we could find a group of like-minded kids and a fun RPG system for them to make fun stories (and possibly friendships) in.
I've played several systems in the past, and although it might have a bunch of rules, I've always found the pathfinder systems (1 & 2) to be very fun to play and make characters in. Hence why I also came to this forum (after a long absence).
I'd be willing to step up as the GM for this group of would-be little adventurers, but if any one else feels the calling I'd be ok to let them take a swing at it :)
We're in CET timezone (UTC+1) for it it's relevant.
Looking for any help/tips :
- if you know of any people/discords/groups that do something like this
- if you have tips on what game system would be a good start
- if you are a parent and think your kid(s) would be willing to give this a try
