Hi Everyone, Yes, I know our main focus is to be less screen time and more in the real world time and I also realize that sometimes we are just pressed for time or ideas. Over the weekend, my son and I had an idea for a simple app that allows families with kids ages 7-17 to create the foundation for their own non online games. If you have time over the next week, I'd be grateful for any feedback on mechanics, ease of use, and results and would this be something you and your family might use. Note: this app does require a login but that's so you can save your games and go back and add feedback as your family play tests. @Gus Gray @Adam Formanek https://hissing-play-craft-forge.base44.app

We have several journal games to choose from, our latest is the Time Traveler. What a great way to teach your young adult about history. In turn, they'd be creative with what the future would look like. Available at https://www.tulaxii.com/RZsPlanners Of course you can make up your own game to do with children of all ages and play them with any medium; this just plants the seed for your creativity. Enjoy some nurturing time.

OK so perhaps a different approach with younger children; definitely a fun experience with older children and family members. Here's how it works... Time Traveler - This one the Main Encounter Table is your location (are you home, in a public place, maybe a cafe or a train) and then you Roll for your Time table - is it in the past, present or future and if so how far in which direction!! Each day will present you with an action, a moment - something happening. and then you roll for the when and where. Enjoy!

@Adam Formanek has inspired me to create more simple and fun games you can play by yourself or with the kids in your life. Today, I was inspired by the old Highlights for Children magazine I grew up reading. One of my favorite pages was the “Spot the difference” page. With the help of AI I’ve created my first one for you. If you’d like the prompt I used so you can create your own, let me know. Can you find the differences between the left and right side? Answers revealed Tuesday to give everyone time to play.
