I am ever so happy tonight. Springy played her first RPG and it is a really sweet and gentle game. D&D is very much combat based and does have a level of violence which is not so easy to avoid without a lot of tweaking. However, Faery Tale Deluxe has been designed with children and non-violence in mind and is available from Green Ronin publishers:

We played Jack and The Beanstalk whereby Springy played the part of a Brownie, along with her squirrel companion and they headed up the beanstalk to rescue Jack. The game is non-violent and is ever so simple. The attributes of each faery character are Mind, Body and Spirit and then each type of faery has different gifts. For instance, Brownies have Invisibility and Household Tasks (so they can churn butter, sweep the hearth etc with ease). Springy loved this and it was a great way to have fun and learn. The feats are based on getting even numbers on the dice (or you could do it without dice). What was so good was getting it as an e-book PDF which meant not having to wait for it to ship.
