As promised, here is an excerpt from Deathtrap Dungeon. I was DM, and my three boys Ray (15), Alan (12) and Tom (7) were the players.
We have been playing the adventure over a few weeks. The players are using: Sarian (Tom), Ellion (Ray) and Dekion (Alan). This excerpt starts at encounter 44.
Sarian: Dad, can I use my search skill to see if my bow is magical?
DM: For the 100th time Tom, I've already told you your bow is magical!
Sarian: what about my dagger
DM: yes!
Sarian: and my sword?
All: SHUT UP TOM!
Sarian: God, I was only asking.
DM: Reading from the adventure, “The corridor ends at a pool of water. The pool is approx. 8ft. wide and 5ft. long and it appears to be quite deep”.
Sarian: Are there any fish in it?
DM: No
Sarian: Why not?
DM: Right guys, what you gonna do?
Dekion: I think I remember this from the book?
Ellion: What happens?
Dekion: I cant remember.
Sarian: Can I throw Alan in to see how deep it is?
DM: You can try if you want?
Dekion: TOM! We are supposed to be helping each other.
Sarian: OK, OK …. God
Dekion: I will get down on my hands and knees and lower my sword into the water, still holding onto it. Does it touch the bottom Dad?
DM: No, you cannot feel the bottom
Sarian: I will kick Alan in
DM: Is that what you want to do Tom?
Sarian: …………………. no.
Ellion: You are the best swimmer Tom. Dive in and have a look.
Sarian: God, I have to do everything!
Dekion: Don’t worry. I will take off my armour and dive in.
DM: It takes you a little while to get your armour off. Testing the water it seems quite cold.
Dekion: Jump in
Sarian: You said you was gonna dive in Alan
Dekion: Im in the water . Im gonna hold my breath and swim down.
DM: A simple swim check DC5 please
Sarian: did I do it Dad???
DM: Tom! You are not in the water.
Sarian: I said I was going to dive in and swim down.
Ellion: No you didn’t Tom
DM: Tom, shut up
Dekion: 15 total…easy.
DM: swimming down you find a small passage that leads up the other side.
Dekion: Slowly put my head out of the water and have a look around.
Sarian: Im gonna hide Alan’s cloths
DM: You can see a corridor going off into the distance. There are two doors on the right hand side of the corridor……. You hear a female scream coming from behind one of the doors.
Sarian: Jump out of the water and bust into the room. Get my sword out and leap into the air and …
DM: Tom, you’re not even there
Sarian: God! I said I was going in but, NO, you wouldn’t let me. It isn’t fair. Alan will get all the treasure
… and so it goes on for 3 agonizing hours.

I have run WOFTM, COTSW and DD with players and its was amazing.
One of the players a sorcerer decided to shocking grasp Baron Sukumvit when he shook his hand at the end... that was pretty crazy...
at the moment Im running the SHamutanti hills and the players are Rein (9) playing MOONKID the elven child sorcerer who has been magicaly shrunk to 2 feet tall ( which is comming in handy now they are dealing with elvins) Evan (11 ) who is playing Drake the gnome ninja and Teresea (15) who is playing tree the rouge.
They got caught by the headhunters after a long hunt and a chase which had Rein and Evan crying from fear of being eaten. Thats actual tears. Even Theresa was pretty red faced it was so stressfull.
they got caught and caged but escaped as moonkids flyign cat familiar chewed them free. the missioned due north and decided to go fishing on the river as MOONKID has a masterwork fishing rod.
they caught a few fish and then I decided Elvins were comming.
They are now tryign to intimidate MOONKID into using his new wand . He knows not what the wand does.
its great. I just wish I had the orginal books with me so I could show the oldschool pictures which allways scared me as a kid.
Best
