Role Playing Games are a lot of fun. What are some good introductory role-playing games for kids? (And particularly for girls)

• HeroKids — sounds great, review here, buy it here — I did!
• No Thank You, Evil! — review, playtest review, audio review; Less combat focus than HeroKids.
• Sidekick quests — "A simple 'lite style' role playing game designed to introduce children to role playing" store — I like this one.
• Mouse Guard (rpg) — People love this. The artwork is a delight.
• D6 Dungeons
• My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria — review
• Fate Accelerated
• Monster Slayers
• Risus rule set
• Dnd Monsterslayers

Build your own RPG (for kids!)

How hard would it be to build your own RPG? I mean the whole thing, the mechanics and the stories, the artwork, everything.

The {stories|tales} themselves are {rich|detailed|richly detailed}, if {predictable|familiar}.

"Will {Storm|Fire|Water|Ice|Dungeon|Rock|Gold|Mist}{Breaker|Bringer|Eater|Taker|Shaker} the {Brave|Foolish|Wise|Golden|Nasty} be able to {defeat|out-wit|double-cross|trounce|betray} {Storm|Fire|Water|Ice|Dungeon|Rock|Gold|Mist}{Breaker|Bringer|Eater|Taker|Shaker} the {Brave|Foolish|Wise|Golden|Nasty|Green|Orange|Brown|Red|Sudden} before {he|she|they} can {destroy|befriend|overthrow|thrash|swindle} {Storm|Fire|Water|Ice|Dungeon|Rock|Gold|Mist}{Breaker|Bringer|Eater|Taker|Shaker} the {Brave|Foolish|Wise|Golden|Nasty}? Perhaps, but only with a little {sorcery|magic|luck|trinket|loot|cunning|patience|spellbook|demonic divination} — and a whole lot of {sorcery|magic|luck|armor|weapons|blood-curdling yells|crafting|loot|fighting|raiding|spell casting|dice rolling}!"

OR

It's a {frosty|chilly|stormy|moonless|steamy} {night|evening|dawn} in {a strange|an unfamiliar|a bustling|a corrupt|a deadly|a quiet|the party|the deadliest|the worst} {city|town|village|forest|hamlet|district}, and you're a{ 3-foot tall|n angry| crusty| crooked| wanted|n infamous| nasty| hard-boiled| wide-eyed| naive|n excitable| trigger-happy} {burglar|thief|rogue|swindler|pirate|cop|politician|taxi-driver} with {a full-face tattoo|too many guns|not a dollar to your name|an unbroken streak of bad luck|hair on your feet|a grudge|a fear of {spiders|silence|noses}|a bad case of the blues|a mysterious power|a knack for levitating|an overdue library book}.
