This past week my daughter turned 10. To celebrate we arranged a little party for this weekend.
She started off around 1pm running a game of Kobolds Ate My Baby for a few of her friends. The adventure involved the Kobold player characters trying to scrounge up ingredients for King Torg's Birthday Cake (ALL HAIL KING TORG!). One of the ingredients was "Human Babies".
She is a soft-hearted Game Master and only two of the Kobolds died in the process of procuring said ingredients. And they only actually died because one of them was starting to annoy her... so a flaming piano fell out of the sky. The other casualty was due to standing too close to the annoying one when said flaming piano fell from the sky....
Then another friend showed up and there was an epic game of Munchkin Legends (bit of a John Kovalik theme going on here...).
...and then there was cake.
ALL HAIL KING TORG!
Some 10 year old girls might want fairies or princesses... mine asks for Torg: King of the Kobolds... (do I have the awesomest daughter ever or what!?)
(last year it was a Cthulhu cake...)

Happy 10th to your daughter. I think the second photo is brilliant with the two boys sharing the card information, their level of involvement just tells its own story ....... The future of non-computer based gaming is safe :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm! That game went on forever and much fun was had - it often spun off into discussion of the myths the cards were parodying as it turn out all of them are mythology geeks!?
DeleteBrilliant! Gamer kids are like normal kids...except cooler (yeah...so I paraphrased the t-shirt, sue me)!
ReplyDeleteWay cooler!
DeleteThanks Gordon!
ALL HAIL KING TORG!
ReplyDelete... and Happy Birthday to your daughter.
ALL HAIL KING TORG!
Delete(I have to admit, that bit got tiresome real fast... anytime someone mentioned King Torg everyone had to SHOUT "ALL HAIL KING TORG!" of suffer a "Kobold Horrible Death Check"... amazingly - or maybe NOT-SO- amazingly - no one died in this fashion, despite how many times The Girl mentioned King Torg in her descriptions of things...)
You're doing excellent work here.
ReplyDeleteAll hail King Tim and a new generation of gamers!
ALL HAIL KING... wait... What!?
DeleteThanks!
