I was searching for a simple TTRPG I could run with my 8-year old daughter and found Stravagante through some online reviews. I was really drawn to the art style, the simplicity of the system and the emphasis on storytelling and problem solving rather than combat. 

So far we've played two sessions with an adventure I'd sketched out and we've been having a really fun time. I love the simple D6 rolls to see what happens and the complications table has added a lot of flavour and unexpected twists for consequences. Our adventure went in some unexpected ways with a diminutive littlekin gnome winning an arm wrestle against all odds, a chase through the alleys of a town to rescue a kidnapped Phoenix, and the so far unsolved mystery of the missing town mascot, an unusually large snail. 

The spell making table also inspired some pretty wild spells including one we invented together that summons any animal you like but how helpful it is depends on a roll and if you roll a 1 it's the wrong animal entirely!

The booklets were also fun to put together and fit nicely in a travel pouch.

Really looking forward to more games from Penflower Ink!

Thank you so much for sharing this review, I am so happy you and your daughter are enjoying the game :D
