Daddy Daughter DnD Date 🏰🐉Playing Dungeons and Dragons with Your Kids| GM 911
Kudos for this dad getting his daughter into tabletop role-playing games. I love seeing young people gaming and dropping dice in this awesome hobby. Dungeons and Dragons is a great gate to how to roleplay for kids and beginner adults alike. Tabletop gaming instills so many life lessons for players. Problem solving, social skills from NPC interaction, and learning to work with others in your gaming group are all great skills learned from play D&D and other RPGs.
Original GM 911
y daughter has come to me to teach her about D&D. I used to play MANY years ago (AD&D 2nd Ed). When all my friends and I gathered to play, we all made the most powerful characters we could and worked well as a team to destroy everything in our path. Now, I have been introduced back into the game with 5th Edition and I am having a more difficult time that I expected in getting out of that mindset and more into a role-playing frame of mind. I want her to be able to experience the full effect of what D&D has to offer, but I know it is up to me to include those elements to a campaign setting. All for just a single character. I will give you some background on her and on what I want help with:



She is 11. So I want something simple, but not so simple that she thinks I am purposely making it easy. If I throw 1 kobold or goblin at her, she is going to arch an eyebrow and give me the “little-girl-for-real?” look.



I want to incorporate more rp elements than combat elements. I want her to actually learn something about how to deal with people and how to make decisions based on the needs of others, even though I want this to be a solo-campaign.



I don’t want player-level-npcs to help her much or she will think I am trying to hold her hand through combat situations.



I have picked up all the modules for 5th Edition so far just to get a broader scope of the general layout of 5E campaigns and combats and all the trimmings, but I know those are all designed for 4+ players at a time. I love reading them and want to add aspects from those into a campaign of my own, designed just for her. Most of all, I want her to enjoy it and look forward to the next play session.



I think I can put some great npc rp encounters into the campaign, however, I would love some advice on how I should go about combat. I would love suggestions for solo-character content and some light combat encounters to inspire me. I understand that she won’t kill dragons or arch-demons, but I don’t want her to feel less-heroic or that I made things easy just for her.



Any advice, guidance, or help you guys can give would be IMMENSELY appreciated.



I love your channel and your videos have been a tremendous help in reigniting my love for the game, and hopefully, my daughter’s beginning into D&D as well.



Thanks in advance,



Bob (and Gracie)
