I have played this game only with children, such that I need to wear both the right-of-player hat and the left-of-player hat. I suspect that this slows it down a lot, especially since I'm inexperienced myself. Rather than play it again, we have lapsed into communal storytelling (i.e. D&D variants).

Having a second adult would make a big difference. But if you have other paths to communal storytelling, arranging for that probably isn't a priority. Your kids engage with D&D as storytelling and not just dungeon-crawling? Cool!

That's how we spend our time on long car trips. We started with a D&D theme, but the undead were too scary, so we went with a Pokemon theme instead. I have recently introduced them to a superhero RPG, so we might be going with that if I can get it together enough to develop a storyline.

My kids have never been introduced to the dungeon-crawling version of D&D. I don't think they know what a 12-sided die looks like.

This game is one of the few new ones I've played in the last year or so, and I like it a lot. One of my first thoughts was also that the game cries out for a software adaptation. I would settle for a companion iPad app. :-)

Yeah, the iPhone (or Android) screen is probably too small for the relevant blocks of text. :-)
