One of the kids has made an rpg scenario for us. He& #39;s written up pregenerated characters.
I& #39;m playing the "Hay Bailer". My powers including rolling down a hill, throwing stacks of hay, laying traps and...
... summoning attack sheep and other militant barnyard animals.
The other twin& #39;s playing the Potion Seller, who has more practical abilities like witch summoning and fire bombs.
Unused characters who may show up as NPCs - the Warrior Stuck In An Object
The Small Knight
We& #39;re not high enough level to play God.
A design innovation - an ongoing comic tracking the events of the game, drawn in real time.
The Potion Seller declares himself to be evil and tries to kill the innocent Hay Bailer; however, the GM dislikes ultra-violence and penalises the murderous potion attacks. I flee to the hills to regroup.
Oh, this is clever. I& #39;ve met a policeman who& #39;s been investigating the potion seller. Twin 1 must now describe three weaknesses of his character.
Admittedly, his first answer was "my butt" so this may not be high art.

The GM overrules him. The weaknesses of the Potion Seller are:
1) Fear of leather
2) Fear of spiders
3) Gluten intolerance.
I& #39;m looking to recruit some spider allies.

Drama! The Potion Seller surprises me at home. He tries to eat my spiders! He needs a 17 to do it - and rolls it! my plan to defeat him is in tatters!
I need to roll an 17+ to escape - and roll an 18. I& #39;m fleeing down the hill while the Potion Seller despoils my hay house on the hill.
Update: I& #39;ve cleared some goblins out of the wood and built a new house surrounded by traps; I& #39;m now able to use Spiders!
The Potion Seller, meanwhile, is trying to track down that cop who ratted him out. And he& #39;s just encountered the Small Knight!
The Potion Seller needs to roll a 19+ to defeat him. He rolls a three.
"He knocks you out in one fell swoop!"
"BUT HE& #39;S SMALL! I guess he cut my leg open."

Meanwhile, in my second home, I have won the friendship of Max the Goblin by pulling shards out of glass from all the potions thrown at me out of my skin and giving them to him. Goblins are weird.
A flock of hunting sheep just tracked down the Potion Seller (the GM& #39;s getting tired)
I feed the Potion Seller his own frog potion and turn him into a frog. Now he& #39;s Max& #39;s pet. I think we& #39;re into the epilogue now.
"Daddy, you levelled up 5 times. You can now become god."
Solid ending.
Solid ending.
Meanwhile, the Potion Seller& #39;s player is off to practise his coding, because apparently game design never stops here.
