Anyone knows a freely accessible TTRPG to play as GM for a 10 y.o. boy? I keep care of my nephew and I thought, too late maybe, that it could be a good idea to propose to him such a game.

Update on delve if anyone is interested, just discovered a bunch of free community copies were released. when I claimed mine last night there were 43 and now there are 33. If anyone has interest I recommend grabbing a free game while you can https://blackwellwriter.itch.io/delve-a-solo-map-drawing-game · 2 years ago

Burning Wheel isn't free, but cheap to buy. Best of all, its systems are all based on ordinary six-sided dice. It's a game more focused around story than, for example, D&D which is primarily combat-centric. Not the easiest game to learn but it's been the most rewarding TTRPG I've ever played in or GM'd. · 2 years ago
Heroquest? Easy to play at that age. · 2 years ago
Dungeon Drawing isn't what I'm looking for, but it's cool! · 2 years ago
@smokey thank you! · 2 years ago
Similar Dungeon-Drawing games worth looking at:
- How to Host a Dungeon, by Tony Dowler, in which you generate the Dungeon of a particular civilisation and play it out over the eons of its life cycle.
- No Country for Old Kobolds, by Steve Wallace, in which you generate the map of a continent divided in several countries with a Kobold village trying to survive in the middle.
- Ironsworn Delve, by Shawn Tomkin, an extension of the Viking-themed procedural roleplaying game, that will let you explore the deepest, darkest reaches of the Ironlands. · 2 years ago
While not free, DELVE is a SPTTRPG that I've been eyeing for awhile. Check out this kickstarter [1] if you want information on it, and buy it at the makers website [2] Finally check out this video [3] to see how its played and if its something to consider given your criteria. Its 5 Euro digital and 9 for a physical booklet, fairly cheap all things considered. Maybe check out some of the makers other TT games if its not up your alley.
