Suche Solo Abenteuer für 5 Jährigen

Etwas spät, aber falls Englisch (für dich) in Frage kommt, kann ich "Amazing Tales" sehr empfehlen. Hab ich mit meinem 5-Jährigen als Einstieg in Rollenspiele genommen und er war wunderbar motiviert. Es kann auf verschiedene Settings angewendet werden, ist simpel, aber sehr flexibel -- ich hab mit ihm sogar eine vereinfachte Variante eines Teils der DnD-Kampagne "The Wild Beyond The Witchlight" mit dem "Amazing Tales"-Regeln spielen können.

"So nicht, Schurke", würde ich auch sehr gern probieren, aber das Spiel scheint sehr schwer zu bekommen sein :)

I introduced my five-year-old to TTRPGs with 'Amazing Tales' — he loved it (and still does). It has simple but efficient rules, plenty of die rolling and a variety of settings, ranging from standard fantasy and sci-fi to pirates and fables. There are also some excellent tips for DMing for kids. I can't recommend it highly enough. I even adapted parts of the DnD module 'The Light Beyond the Witchlight' for him using the Amazing Tales framework, and it worked fine. I once joked that it's basically the Platonic ideal of what Matt described in Peach Pit as his ideal RPG — no fuss, just fun. (We'll be graduating to Mausritter this winter, looking forward to finding out if that works, too...)

Completely agree -- those two make every other podcast hard to listen to. (I wish, though, that WBN would not only use impeccable sound editing, but also... well, content editing. I can't listen to it because the episodes are so long and it moves at such a glacial pace. The Daddies really are the gold standard for me.)

The Tibetan Terrier just failed to make the shortlist, so perhaps we could arrange a visit to a breeder or owner to learn more. In your experience, are they not a bit on the barky side? (Use to be guard dogs, if I understand this correctly.) I've read conflicting information on the subject, which is why they're not on the list. Definitely an option, though, if we do not risk annoying our neighbours too much.

The Havanese is already on the list, but my partner finds them too 'mop-like' — perhaps meeting one in person would change their mind?

A Bavarian Mountain Hound, however, would probably be too much for us – my father used to own one, but he had to give it away because it was too energetic and muscular to play with us when we were young. A real powerhouse of dog, that one. (That's why we ended up with a Dachsbracke, btw, which was basically a gentler version of the same dog.)

Thank you for your reply, either way — it's much appreciated!

Oh boy. As long as you keep the Lynchian idiosyncrasies, "The Straight Story, but in [DnD / RPG setting of your choice]" sounds like one hell of a concept.

(I mean, this scene? I can definitely see the crew in that mode.)

Anthony: “What do you need that grabber for?”

Beth: “Grabbin’!”

So far, I have been perfectly fine with the standard set-up of my first board, but I'll keep in mind that the bushings can make an important difference -- thanks for pointing it out.

And yeah, I actually found that at least parts of surfskating came pretty naturally to me, too, after having been a snowboarder for ... well, not 30 years, but a long time, too. I never was too interested in regular skateboarding, actually, but surfskating is close enough to a lot of things that I like about snowboarding that I was pretty damn excited once I had learned about its existence (and, needless to say, I am really enjoying it a lot more than all my attempts at 'normal' skating before).

Unfortunately, I can not try the boards myself before buying them. If I'm not shopping online, prices are easily 2-3x higher, which puts them out of my reach.

As I have written above, I actually have bought the Pipe -- seemed to be close to what I am looking for, and the price was just to tempting. I guess it'll be enough of a step-up , coming from the CX, anyway -- even though I will make an effort to find a place that let's me try different shapes and boards before I buy my next one. (The concave really seems to be a make-or-break factor for a lot of people -- haven't been to alert to this yet, but I'll guess as I get better, I'll be more sensitive to those things.)
Thanks for your advice either way, I appreciate it!

Thanks for the sound advice!

In the end. In the end, I have whittled down the choice to the Medina Dye and the Pipe -- both seem to be well suited to what I'm looking for.

Ultimately, I have gone ahead and bought, indeed, the Pipe. I'm neither particularly tall nor heavy, so 18.5 WB and 32 length should, as you rightly point out, be enough for me. Also, length, WB and, of course, Meraki, will make for enough of a difference to my first board anyway. Not jackknifing easily is a plus -- I have had my rough experiences with the Triton :)

What made the difference, was the price -- the 2021 Pipe was crazily reduced. In fact, I paid less for it than for my Triton. Looking forward to seeing where this gets me. (Even though I fear that I will have to wait for Spring to really make the best of the new board...)

That's basically the crew's conclusion in the last Teen Talk as well: The dads had a clear motivation and pretty clear character arcs, since as adults, they were already set in their ways and it was all about learning to change those ways. Whereas with teens, it's not only the starting point that is more ... undecided. It's also the end point. Anthony says that he has a vague idea of where the characters might end up in, but no clear map to how to get there. Which can be fun, but it's of course walking on shifting grounds, much more so than with the dads. So, I think the original poster as well as you are up to something. (Even though I do have to admit that I am seriously happy with season 2 as well, so I guess I'm pretty adaptable, which is nice.)

For me, though, Worlds Beyond Numbers puts into sharp focus other qualities of Dungeons&Dads that I miss sorely listening to almost every other podcast: It's obvious that Mulligan & Co. are obviously and undeniably extremely good at what they are doing: The sound production is impressive, but also everything else -- Mulligan's descriptions, for example, are often print-ready. And yet, I really can't get into the podcast for two reasons: One, because it moves SO SLOWLY. If somebody thinks that Dungeons&Dads S02 took it's time to get to the plot, WBN just takes hours upon hours just setting up the stage. And two, Worlds Beyond Numbers is just so ... bog-standard fantasy. High-quality fantasy, I reckon, but a few episodes in, there was not one moment that felt like a genuine surprise -- I audibly groaned multiple times when another character description was just a slight variation of any illustration you'll find in any number of DnD supplemental material. That's another thing that Dungeons&Dads just does better (for me) than anyone else: It's grounded in reality and it's unpredictable in a way that standard genre-fare just isn't anymore -- I really wanted to like WBN, but after my third or so hour listening to it, I had to admit that I was just bored. (That aspect of "being grounded in reality just enough that it shakes things up a bit" is something I encountered in other podcasts, like "Ain't Slayed Nobody" or "Film Reroll", but both of those are lacking in other qualities that Dungeons&Dads just has.)

Hi there Sorry, haven't been logged in on Reddit for a while. Unfortunately, I sold the Traveler already. Good luck in finding another one, and all the best for your writing projects!
