Interview with Martin from the Daddy Rolled a 1 blog!

I’ve known Martin as DaddyRolleda1 on twitter for over a year now, and we’ve had chats about playing TTRPG’s with kids from the start – he was one of my inspirations for starting the TTRPGkids blog, and it was an awesome opportunity to get to sit down and chat about his experiences with table top role playing games, working with Wizards of the Coast, and introducing his daughter and her friends to D&D.

EnerGeodes! A Superpowered, Rock Collecting, Scout Camp Adventure Game!

EnerGeodes! is my submission for the 3d6D TTRPG jam and pulls together a bunch of my childhood influences (including rock collections, adventures at scout camp, and my love of super heroes) to create a framework for leisurely summer camp fun, with a magical twist, solving camp mysteries, or epic world-saving escapades!
Overgrown title page

Review of Overgrown, a nature-punk tabletop RPG for all ages!

I played Overgrown with my 3yo, and we had a lot of fun!  The chaotic combinations of creatures that make up the player’s characters was a HUGE hit with kiddo (who picked an Owlcat named Owllie), and the d20 only mechanics were easy for kiddo to understand.  We ran a fun adventure that started with chasing a flock of sharkbirds (which we are calling a tornado of sharks) that were trying to steal breakfast from some mice, and had a great time letting my 3yo navigate the story from there!  I hope you have a great game too!
Omotenashi

Tiny Tome, Tiny TTRPG Review: Omotenashi

Omotenashi is a cozy storytelling prompt game all about hospitality and helping others feel welcome.  In this animal-populated world, take on the roles of staff members as a getaway for a variety of guests, all with different needs, and figure out how to help them relax and find inspiration in their lives.
Willow from Wizard in Training

The Wizard in Training Trilogy, a pre-K tabletop RPG adventure series

These StoryGuider games are from the Wizard in Training trilogy! These games concentrate on learning about problem solving and building skills (like tracking inventory, using spells, and taking on slightly more challenging quests) to prep kids for the next TTRPG that you’ll try with them!
5 Second Rule

Tiny Tome, Tiny TTRPG Review: 5 Second Rule

Congrats!  You have superpowers (!!), but they are limited to 5 seconds.  Maybe you can only turn back time by 5 seconds or maybe you can only gain super strength for 5 second intervals, but you still need to escape, complete daring feats of super heroism, and have adventures!  Use these limits to get creative and work together to use your powers to their fullest.
