Review of Inspirisles, a uniquely beautiful sign language tabletop RPG for teens!
Inspirisles is a beautifully illustrated game that utilizes sign language as one of the core spell casting components! Since I saw it, I knew I wanted to try it out with my kid, and I was very excited to see him pick Inspirisles up right away (he even asks for it as the sign magic game now). Inspirisles is a truly teaching tool and game, and I hope you give it a try!
Tips and Tricks for turning your kid’s board games in tabletop RPG time!
Most people have probably played board games and are familiar with a lot of the mechanics. For people new to tabletop RPGs, this familiar territory can be a great springboard for starting to introduce role-playing elements seen in TTRPGs before taking the dive into a totally new genre of games!
Review of Trouble at Santa’s Workshop, a Christmas tabletop RPG for all ages!
I heard about Trouble at Santa’s Workshop because of a charity event that was going on! The creator was very kindly donating all proceeds from the game during Dec 2021 to a food drive charity for the holidays, and, with it also being an all-ages game, I really wanted to support. Trouble in Santa’s Workshop was a great way to kick off some holiday family fun in our household, and was a nice easy game that got my son VERY excited about helping with holiday prep.
Book review for Whispers of the Voidbringer, tabletop RPG focused chapter book!
Whispers of the Voidbringer by M. Allen Hall is a TTRPG-inspired novel that gives a great example of kids playing D&D. It follows the epic adventures of a group of player characters as they navigate a classic fantasy world in danger…. And it also follows the parallel journey of the kids playing these characters as they navigate each other, learn the game, and experience this awesome quest. It was a fun read, and I hope you enjoy it as well!

Interview with Michael Low, creator of Starsworn and Luck of Legends!
I previously reviewed Michael’s game, Starsworn and listened to the playthroughs on Stories Podcast, and they were both so good, I kind of had to do an interview. Michael has a lot of experience and insight in playing TTRPG’s with kids and has done wonders for the kids in his educational programs! We talked about the games, advice, why TTRPG’s work so well with kids… so much solidly helpful information.
Tips and Tricks: How to adjust tabletop RPG mechanics (including D&D) for kids!
There are a ton of great tabletop RPGs out there designed for kids at all different age levels! However, sometimes, you want to introduce your kids to YOUR game or your young one wants to join in on the “big kid’s game”. If your child isn’t at the reading and math level for the game, this can pose a challenge… but you can overcome it with them! There are lots of small changes you can implement to make any tabletop RPG mechanic (from indie games to D&D) a little more approachable for kids and a little easier for you to manage while you all play.
Review of Starsworn and the Stories RPG System, teaching literacy through games!
I was very excited to review StarSworn, not just because it is a system my kid can easily pick up, but because it comes from a fam-friendly story podcast! This game was a lot of fun to play, and my kid (and I) are enjoying listening to the podcast as well!
Interview: Creator of the Family Fantasy RPG series, Colin
I have played, reviewed, and really enjoyed Colin’s Family Fantasy RPG’s before, but now I had the opportunity to sit down and have a chat! We talked about Colin’s experiences playing with his kid, how he started writing kid’s games, what he loves about the FamFantasy games, and what’s coming next!
