So I dedicate RPG playtime with my eight-year-old every weekend to help his brain, critical thinking, and creative prowess. He’s been bored with D&D lately, so I sat him down for a “session 0.” We identified that he didn’t want to play fantasy or sci-fi, but that he wanted modern day with monsters. So I’m thinking PERFECT! I bring out MoTW. And he then says he only wants to play gremlins (i.e. Spielberg). I told him we will definitely play gremlins, and whatever monsters ongoing. He said, “No! Not like Scooby Doo with different monsters every week. Only gremlins.” I told him I’m not running 52 weeks of gremlins. He got mad. We’re still discussing.

Sigh.

  1. Michael Sands I’ll do the gremlins, then do something that “looks” like gremlins, but is better. Then he’ll forget about gremlins. Right? Of course right! But seriously, I handed him the book and said, “Look through this, just take a minute.” We’ll see where it goes. And hey Chris Stone-Bush! It’s mysticfedora from Happy Jacks 😀

  2. Gremlins as a start for a while then introduce incrementally larger goblinoids: goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, redcaps and other fae critters.

    Gremlins as a gateway to the fae realms.
