Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

My son Matt is teaching 9 year olds in South Korea. It's a working class district and so the level of English is not that great. The school does free after school classes (most better off Koreans send their kids to paid after school classes) and Matt is doing games (boardgames and card games).

He's slowly building sets from paper and card and glue, and he asked if I knew of any games that he could legally print, glue and play with the kids. They need to be simple, and suitable for the age range, and although they've no budget, I guess I'd throw in a few quid if there was a cheap pdf that was good.

So, if you teach, or have kids, or just *know* then I'd be interested in your feedback.

Thanks, Tom.

You should get in touch with Daniel Solis. He's on G+ and Twitter under that name. I think he'd be very interested in helping you out here.

I have no direct experience with them, but you might check out Cheap Ass Games.

He'll have to look through the games and decide which ones are simple enough for his purposes, but I have two sources.

Boardgamegeek-Click on "Adv. Search", then "Filter on Board Game Category" (near thye bottom), then check the box next to "Print and Play" and and click on "Submit".  Many if not all are free to print.

There is also Warp Spawn Games all of which are free to print and play (I believe).

There are a large number of free wargames at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/departments/warstudies/people/professors/sabin/consim.aspx

Note some are for Cyberboard but many are print and play. In spite of the topic some might be suitable for kids.

I've got some more links to free wargames in this thread: http://www.the-prussian-gamer.de/index.php?topic=2287.msg46354#msg46354

And this one, might be most suitable for kids as wargames go: http://www.the-prussian-gamer.de/index.php?topic=2596.msg51711#msg51711

If historical wargames would be appropriate, have a look at http://www.juniorgeneral.org/
