TTRPGkids BOOK review: Princesses of the Pizza Parlor

Princesses of the Pizza Parlor by Maikel Yarimizu is the story of and uncle running a tabletop role playing game for his niece and her tween friends. It’s a fun tale that follows their character’s adventures in the game… and the drama between the players outside of the game as they navigate their friendships. I enjoyed the read, and I hope you and your kids do too!

TTRPGkids review: Felt, Friendship, and Feelings

Felt, Friendship, and Feelings was a big hit with my 3yo (who loves Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock), and it gave us a really cool way to tell a story together with characters similar to the shows kiddo loves.

Interview: Navaar of Secret Nerd Podcast

I had an awesome chat with Navaar, creator of Secret Nerd Podcast, a diverse interview show about different experiences with TTRPG’s. As a father of three toddlers, Navaar offered some great insight about concerns that parents may have when starting TTRPG’s with their young kids and some great questions about next steps. We were able to do a little bit of a reverse interview and hopefully address some of the, probably very common, considerations that parents, teachers, and caregivers make when starting to introduce TTRPG’s to their children.
