Nice set of 3 challenges to be incorporated into your adventures. The first and third are clever puzzles and the second is even a mini-game. All of these are language independent (can be used if your kids do not understand English, without any nee for modifying the challenges).

Great set of puzzles, this makes for a nice addition to a Hero Kids adventure. The pack includes helpfull tips on adapting the difficulty level, so you can use them for a wide age range. As my kids do not (yet) understand English, I also look at it from that perspective. The first puzzle can be used for any language. The second one will require the GM to translate the poem that provides the hints (shouldn't be difficult). The third challenges involves a letter puzzle resulting in an English phrase, so this will require some modification to use in a different language.

This is a great translation of a great game!

Hero Kids is a great game for introducing kids to RPGs. This Dutch translation is well done. It translates the core rules clearly and correctly, so it's a great starting point for playing the game with Dutch children. It's nice to see that the translator has kept the translation up-to-date with the original English text.

The encounters in this adventure are designed to have hidden enemies / ambushes, but the printable maps have numbered circles showing exactly how many enemies there are and where to place them. This makes the adventure as designed completely unusable. Other adventure models have printable maps without the circles and show the circles only for the GM. There are also no suggested differences to adjust battles based on the number of players.

Fixing these issues would vastly improve the product.

This translation pack is great! Everything you need to translate the Hero Kids space adventures and space heroes to your own language.

Awesome family fun for younger kids and their caregivers. While I was eager to get my children into RPGs, I knew that D&D was going to be asking alot of 4 and 6 year olds. So, when I heard about Hero Kids (via a Will Wheaton video), I took the plunge. We had many many hours of fun. It also was not long before my kids were creating their own adventures with the monsters that they had cut out and coloured.

I highly recommend this easy to learn game system for anyone looking to get their little ones (or introducing adults) to RPGs.

I got Hero Kids a few days ago and I think it's a great product for kids. The rules are simple and easy for even little ones to use. And the book has so many good strategies for you to use when GMing kids. I found them to be very helpful since I usually GM for adults. Those alone made the book worth it for me. There is also some scaling complexity which I like for when my son gets older. The encounters also scale by the number of players you have, which makes things very flexible. This is a great system for any parent GM to pull out at a moment's notice and improvise a game on the fly. However, it is lacking in a few ways. First, there are no real rules for making monsters. That may be in another book but the intent seems to be for you to buy the supplemental adventures. There does not seem to any equivalent of a bestiary or monster manual to buy either. That's disappointing since my kid's favorite thing to do is fight dragons and I have to buy an adventure that has them. I'm pretty sure I could reverse engineer the process but it shouldn't be needed. Second, I would love even a small amount of equipment/treasure to give out rewards and make my own encounters. Again, the intent seems to be for you to buy the supplements which is not typical of other TTRPGs. Every TTRPG I've played has had rules for equipment. I'm glad the supplements exist but I shouldn't be pressed into buying them when I bought the core system. Finally, there is next to no representation or diversity in the artwork. All the heroes are white and the same is true for the NPCs. I do see the company addresses that a little with the additional Hero Card supplements but again, no one should have to buy supplements to have a hero that looks like them. Even with the supplements there is exactly one black PC (the drow does not count) and one (maybe two) brown PCs. There are no characters who are East Asian-coded. I want all my son's friends to feel welcome at my table and feel like they can be a hero just like they are. It's disappointing to see that the artwork does not reflect those values.

The only reason I bought this coloring book is because I have a coworker who loves to color. This may sound negative, but the Heroes Coloring book is 94 pages of diabetis inducing Kawaiikos and thier pets. I had to quit skimming after 24 pages before I went into insulin shock, and I'm not diabetic. That having been said, I would still highly recommend this coloring book. The kids, and kids-at-heart will love it. The Adults, maybe not so much.

“Just as much fun as a video game” - Leo, 8 “WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO PLAY HERO KIDS TONIGHT?! WAAAAAHHH!” - Henry, 5 (after playing basement o’ rats and 3/4 of Tomb of the Lost King) We played Friday night and Saturday. They talked about it all weekend. I’ve got some prep to do! Incredibly good value. Tip for paper minifigs: cut out a row, fold in half, (blank side in), then fold tabs out. Glue w/ a gluestick. Cut between each figure. A sm square of cardstock on bottom.

The artwork and storyline are absolutely fantastic. My kids will love this scenario!!

Love this! Just picked it up, and I cannot wait to play this with my kids. I read through it, and it looks amazing. My son has been wanting to have some of his friends over to try Hero Kids for the first time, and I know that they are going to LOVE this module. Very detailed with well done maps. Highly recommended!

Check out this fantastic port of a much-loved adventure from D&D. Matt Colville, one of the best "How to DM" people out there made The Delian Tomb as an into to running and playing TTRPGs, and the port of this adventure into Hero Kids is PERFECT!

Halliday puts so much heart and soul into his creations, and his aptitude for details and eloquence is an inspiration - and so is this book.

So I pulled the trigger on this game a while back and never ended up using it. Started my kids on basic D&D instead, but it was a close call. I looked pretty hard for a game I wanted to run with my kids and found the majority of games designed for kids were just downright awful and underestimated the kids ability and was very clearly what an adult thought someone elses kids would like. Hero kids isnt like that, it allows them to go on very similar adventures to what the grown ups are doing at the table, and the game resolution system is very simple and leaves most of the content up to the gm. I also liked that the game doesnt preach "the message" or anything weird from whats going on in the real world and focuses on allowing kids to enjoy these games that their parents might. If I was going to pick a game oriented towards kids, it would be this one.

Absolutely the best way to bring kids to the table. Kids hate prep. Rules confuse them (they want to make their own!) Let's not even get to kid's attention spans. Hero Kids gets everyone to playing fast and keeps things moving. Art is solid, adventures are good, and plenty of goodies to print and hand out for everyone included.
