Heroquest as an introduction to RPG

For the holidays we had planned to go camping with the 2 older kids (6 and 8 y.o.). Unfortunately weather forecasts were not good enough to bring the game along. All the more most of it was recreated with cardboard...

When the children asked to play heroquest I had the idea we could play it without the board.
So we wrote the character sheets on paper and played it like we would in a normal Rpg.
The dice were rolled thanks to my Dice For Heroquest application.

Dungeons were of course shorter but I could introduce some role-playing elements like free actions, talking...

And it worked! They even found it better to play. Heroquest turned out to be a very good introduction to rpg!
