Well 4x4 is as far as I’ll make it this year, we have been playing some systems for way longer than I thought, at least it won’t be too hard to beat next year.

Without any hesitation, Dragonbane: Mirth & Mayhem Roleplaying. It's a system that doesn't take itself too seriously, you can play an anthropomorphic duck and wolf, has a very simple advancement system, and is the first game in 40+ years that made me feel the same way I did when I first encountered AD&D when I was 12.

It did not work for me with upper case - is it USA only?

It didn't work for me, then I tried adding shipping info and then the promo code, and it worked.


For ebooks or out of US it worked?

Sorry - just saw this, so it's probably too late. I ordered a physical book. I entered the promo code in my cart, and it said invalid. But when I went through including a shipping address to the US, THEN submitted the promo code, it worked.

1. I've saved money because of the warnings/'bad' experiences others have had with games I was considering and/or with specific resellers.
2. I've gotten some fantastic games at killer prices thanks to the deals others have found.
3. I discovered solo board gaming and solo RPGs and the fantastic community there!
4. I've discovered for the first time play-by-forum RPGs which has been awesome.

It’s my understanding that you can do that as long as your new BIN is now at the SB price

Can it be possible to change an item that was indicated SB and BIN to only BIN? Before the deadline mention?

If it doesn’t have a bid on it then you could reduce the BIN to the SB. But you would not be able to remove the SB and keep a higher BIN.

If you specifically want that dungeon crawly experience, and want a game with heavy support for it including individual adventures and entire campaigns, I'd definitely look into Mausritter. Though, do note that while it's got a really bright, family friendly, Redwall-esque, aesthetic... It's as deadly as any other dungeon crawl oriented game. Digital version of the game is PWYW, so you can read it over and figure out if it's a good fit for you, though you'd almost certainly want to pick up the boxed set to actually play it in person since the game's inventory is handled in a very tactile way.

If they're into pokemon or digimon at all, Animon Story might be worth looking into, though there's a bit more numbers complexity there than you might be looking for for a 6-7 year old. Not as much as in D&D, mind, and she'd be able to create her own monster if you didn't just go with the free starter adventure. Adventure support is less than more established games have mind, meaning you'd probably need to be doing your own adventure design at some point, but there is an adventure anthology available, a bunch of stuff available on Ko-Fi, and a published campaign is either available digitally or on it's way.

Wanderhome might also be suited, but be aware that while you can play that in a more Saturday-morning cartoon mold, that is a game that wants to be about recovery from truama which... While I think kids can handle darker and more serious themes in media than a lot of people give them credit for - I grew up with The Animals of Farthing Wood, and 'about recovery from trauma' is a description 100% in keeping with the themes of e.g. Steven Universe - it's something that should be born in mind. Particularly balancing the needs of a 6-7yo with an 11yo. No pre-gen stuff for it, but it's a GMless game where everyone contributes ideas to the fictional pot so it wouldn't require extensive prep from yourself.

Quest isn't dissimilar from modern D&D in terms of what sorts of things your characters are going to be doing - It's a heroic fantasy d20 game - but removes pretty much all of the trickier maths and boils down all rolls to 'the higher the d20 rolls, the better' which a 6 year old should be able to handle no problem. Also some class abilities have minigames to them, such as pictionary or hangman. Not sure what the support for it is like, though there's also a sci-fi version available. IIRC the game's free from the publisher's website, but it's annoying to get hold of.

Troika, particularly if you can find a campaign that suits both of their sensibilities is fairly mechanically simple. There are some campaigns and adventures written for it available, though to hit the interests of both your kids you might need to figure adventures out yourself, and the core rules are free if you sign up for the publisher's newsletter.

Briar and Bramble (Though that's not in this site's database) - Based on The Animals of Farthing Wood, a children's novel that was turned into a children's series that I watched when I was not that much older than your daughter. It does feature animals in danger as a core theme (It's about a community of woodland creatures forced out of their homes with fire and axes, looking for a new home), but you can tone down the intensity that implies to your kids - And your own, to be fair - needs. No adventure support for it, but it encourages improvizing based on how players respond to being asked questions. The core rules are free if you don't mind not having art.

Support sent! I've only fairly recently discovered BGG and it's one of the few truly good things on the internet… so, of course, I had to donate 👍🏻
