Adventure Hour! d66 Starting Packages

I’ve had a couple people reach out about running games for kids (how to do it, what rules to use, what adventures are good) so I’m accumulating resources as I continue prep for my Outschool classes.

So here are d66 sets of starting items for your Adventure Games with younger players. Roll two six-sided dice. The first die is the tens place, the second is the ones place.

Yes, this list is VERY anachronistic. There’s usually at least one protection included in each package (or something that can serve to protect you, like swinging the telescope in #62). Sometimes there’s a tool with more than one use or more than one way to use it. Some items have some “blanks” to fill in. Some add to the history of the character. Some are just cool. The ’00s kid in me loves the idea of a skateboard (#32). My favorite is probably #43 or #45. The one with the highest combat potential is #53. Don’t ask me what #13 is all about.

Three items isn’t that much, but player’s inventories are kept very visible in my games so everyone knows who has what. That allows them to suggest a plan that involves someone else’s item. It’s a big part of the cooperation in the game.

Have fun! 🙂
