Little Ones in the mix

We constantly underestimate them, the under-13 crowd. Maybe in real-life, certainly in the game. These pre-teens bring something different to the game, something a lot of people overlook. It was kinda the same with "The Tribe" on tv.

These kids are the confused, the bold, the trick-players, the risk-takers without even understanding the risks they take. Sometimes they're also the dreamers & the schemers.

From tv? Ah, the word "angst" had to have been created for Cloe & Patsy once hormones started kicking in. Poor Dal, being the object of their experimental attentions. KC was the schemer--always a plan, always a deal--from sunglasses to rat races to pure 'n simple theft. Young Dal was the dreamer, whether it was the dream of a farm or that older woman who never gave him a 2nd glance.

It's fun to watch the little ones in KTDARPG. From the youngest Misfits to the smallest River Rats to the quasi-renegade Sable & her dog, you get a different world view from these kids. Whether the subject is storms or safety, finding food or finding friends you can trust, to the often incomprehensible behavior of their older companions ... yeah, it's a world view we need to keep us real.

So bravo! to the players taking on the challenge of younger characters in our very hard-knock game world. Keep it real -- and keep us on track!
