Hey has anybody tried to hack the blade into something a little bit more kid friendly.
I didn’t see anything so I had a try this week end. My audience is a 4 year old girl. So when I say a bit more kid friendly I mean A LOT.
I tried a slightly dark faeric settings. Bilbo and Orphan Tales as touchstones.
Rule wise I dropped a lot. I simplified the attributes and skills. I kept the dice system without the position and effect. I kept the clocks (which she could color herself)
The flashback mechanic work wonderfully well.
I didn’t introduce the stress mechanic but mainly by lack of a proper name for it.
For her first character she created a Bernard the Pirate who’ is very good at fighting (3 dices in kickass) and not so bad with a wand (2 dices in magic).
Also Bernard is a girl with white/blue hairs.
What do you think?
