I must admit from the start that I bought Children's Crusade strictly for the laugh value of reading the booklet through, and I wasn't disappointed. The game is a well-crafted blending of the best of Basic D&D with the Wild Imagination schtick of Steve Jackson's Toonioversal Tours TinyToons chapter. While I'm sure that real 9-12-year-olds will have fun playing CC. I'm also pretty sure that adults will have just as much fun playing 9-12-year-olds on their first fantasy adventure.
