Dungeon World! I haven't read it but I've been hearing a lot lately about it. Particularly enjoying the re-examination of old school modules through a Dungeon World lense in the Fear of a Black Dragon podcast

If its play style is good for kids, I'll have to promote it to top of the reading list.
I agree with the maxim of sticking with the systems that you know, but unfortunately for me that's CoC, WFRPv3, neither of which are simple enough.
I have found Tails of Equestria has been perfect for an introduction to RPGs for my 6-9yos. Its D&D inspired mechanics with just 3 Characteristic stats, talents and leveling up make it a great introduction.Last edited by Thete; July 15th, 2019 at 22:11.

Its not designed for kids but the way it plays is easy for kids to understand.
Its story driven - they tell you what they want to do and you tell them what move to roll against.
Kids play like they are action heroes in the movies - its all flashy stuff - very narrative.
Dungeon World takes the narrative and gives you simple moves to roll and the story evolves.

That looks pretty good. It is Pathfinder ruleset which is like 3.5

I mentioned that series in my recap, it is available in 5e flavor so it makes it more in line with either/or. I’m gonna go on a limb here and call PF 1.0 considerable more “involved” than 5e.

I would go 5E, as what they learn about the game will apply to what others are playing going forward, but agree that they will love it regardless of your decision.
