Re: Kids at GZG ECC?

I ran a Lord of the Rings game using the GW rules (which for the 
GW-phobes out there are better than you might expect) that held the 
attention of two 12-year-olds (plus several 30+ year-olds) for the best 
part of 6 hours on Saturday. It even managed to occupy my son Elliot 
(who's only 3) for most of the day as well since I had him doing my dice

rolling for me (he was lousy at priority rolls but a demon at keeping 
Theoden alive !). Part of the secret of that success was having easily 
recognisable characters that the kids could relate to as well as a 
fairly straightforward set of rules that kept the action rolling along 
at a decent pace.
