# RPG Family Time

I purchased Four Against Darkness, Four Against the Abyss, and some
other books in the series. I have transcribed the rules onto standard
sized blank playing cards and sleeved them into a small book made for
Dungeons and Dragons spell cards.

I have really been enjoying the hybrid system I have come up with
during play, incorporating things from Tunnels and Trolls, Dungeons
and Dragons, and other sources such as the Tome of Adventure Design
(which I have as a PDF on a cheap android tablet). Enjoying it so
much, in fact, that I broke my solo only rule and have a non-hybrid
rules game going with my daughter Lucille. We are using multi-level
dungeon alternate rules, and are going to head above ground with the
The Crucible of Classic Critters ruleset after we have leveled up our
party sufficiently that we won't immediately total party kill. I have
the PDFs and the books, and have given her the books so she can play
solo as she wishes. It has been a very enjoyable time.
