The Zantabulous Zorcerer of Zo
I had been watching for Chad Underkoffler's new game, The Zorcerer of Zo, for a few months now. It came out as a pre-release PDF this week, aimed mainly at the original playtesters (who received it for free) but allowing fans like me to purchase it without waiting for their print copy. I read through it all over the last few days, and I really like it. It's at once a resource for a fairytale land similar to Oz, Narnia, Florin and Guilder, and a walk-through of the creation and play of a campaign in this setting. It contains very useful advice for GMs, including a section discussing how to play and adapt the game with children, depending on their age. I recommended it as an excellent resource for someone wondering how to create a campaign for -- or with -- kids. It shoots to the top of my list of the best RPGs to play with kids, along with Faery's Tale.
