I have been looking at mouse guard too, also because it has some wonderfully innovative ideas. The Burning Wheel rpg system from the same people is also worth a look. @danae – Gnome stew is one of my favorite blogs too!

He specifically mentioned that the structure and rules system would probably work well for teaching/learning the RPG basics.

I used the Basic Set very successfully with my son and you can download the D&D Test Drive (the whole basic game and a starter adventure) legally here http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/dndtestdrive I recommend starting with D&D version 4, rather than 3.5. It is a bit easier to learn, loaded with cool-for-kids goodies and all the new stuff that comes out will be 4.0-compatible. @Karri, ideally a child-friendly group is a good place to start off – you can learn from experienced players and there will already be a Game Master.

I just found your post because I am researching RPGs for my 10yr old son. He's seeking to learn so he can form or be apart of a group. He is an avid video gamer and think he could handle this type of game, but I'm not sure where to start. My main problem is I don't have any experience w/D&D. Maybe I'll have to look into Dungeon and Dragons 3.5 or the Basic Game set. Thanks for all the great info! I just found your post because I am researching RPGs for my 10yr old son.

I love the fact that you arent just teaching them how to play a video game or watch mind numbing movies. D and d is way more complex than your average game and its great that you are broading their horizons. good luck I think its great that you play d and d with kids.
