Area of Effect | Episode 6: How to Begin Playing D&D with Kids

The Kids Table

We say that when kids are able to roll dice, they're able to play D&D--because every kid likes to be part of a story. So what are the first steps that you can be taking at home to begin playing TTRPGs with kids? In this episode, creator of GameMasterMoms.com Nicole talks with Allison and Ryan about how to know when your kids are ready to play, what you can do to scaffold the experience, and ways to make the initial sessions as fun as possible.

Welcome to Area of Effect, a podcast from the creators of The Kids Table, where we discuss how tabletop RPGs benefit kids and answer your questions about playing TTRPGs with the kids at your table!
