The Unbeliever76Some A lot of work on the part of an adult GM will be required to play this with anyone under the age of 12 in order to simplify the ruleset to something appropriate for the players. Works best with creative kids that are willing to roleplay.
GelatinousGoo510Yes I found this basic set very underwhelming. The bits and books were chinsy and they require an adult to interpret how to play. It seems a much better idea to just get the AD&D core manuals and play the full version--it's not much more complex and you can dumb it down where necessary.
