Agreed. We bought my son a phone when he was traveling between states and flying as an unaccompanied minor a bunch because of split parenting. He was about nine. We had strict rules about when he was allowed to use it and when he ABSOLUTELY was not allowed to NOT have it. We also didn't turn on the data (and made him use Wifi) until he was 12.

We absolutely NEEDED him to have it, given those conditions.

Circling back to you:

It's reskinned D&D 3.5, very rules light. The stats are Strength, Dexterity, Fortitude (Con), Book Smarts (Int), Street Smarts (Wis) and Charm (Cha). Classes are called "Trots" (because you can trot however you want, and that's OK, buckaroo!) Core classes are Bad Boys (Fighters), Sneaks (Rogues), Charmers (Bards), Wizards (Wizards) and True Buckaroos (Bard / Cleric / Sorcerer / Shit Chuck made up). Core races are Humans, Big Feet, Raptors, Unicorns and Living Motorcycles. The game rules state that "Due to the nature of the Tingleverse, it is not allowed to create a character under 18 years of age." However, the contents of the book are very PG13... It's up to you to decide how explicitly "real" you want to make "love" in your storytelling game. There is some very sparse lore about Billings Montana, the Void, the City of Devils (Los Angeles) and the rest of the Tingleverse. If you didn't know the Tingleverse was a Stephen King parody, you will after reading the rule book. There are no "guns" (they were never invented in this timeline) and it seems to me the game would be fully compatible with any D&D 3.5 equipment list.

Have fun getting pounded in the butt! :D

It doesn't help that, when stated nakedly, that sounds elitist...

"I'm not like... elitist man, but like, being better than 19 out of 20 other programmers like... isn't actually that good!"

Takes drag on topshelf hybrid joint laced with gold dust and 100% pure Colombian nose powder. Exhales slowly.

"Like, when being better than 95% of people like... isn't that hard man, you know?"

Takes another drag.

"Damn this is good shit. I like it anyway. It's got like... gold dust in it? You probably wouldn't like it."

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm planning to run it next year at a gaming con at Burning Man (yes, that's a thing). My copy has been ordered and should get here within days.

Wasn't there some AD&D supplement that said dragons were conduits to the various elemental planes, and channelled their breath weapons straight from there? Maybe that was Grayhawk specific. I seem to remember it.
