TTRPGkids game review: Adorablins

I was very fortunate to play a pre-release copy of Adorablins, and had a great time using it to have some super cute, goblin-themed adventures diving through portals and rescuing everything from a cake to a missing cow across distant lands such as Dinosaur Island and New York City!

TTRPGkids game review: The Hero’s Tale

I found out about The Hero’s Tale while reading Roll Dice, Build Character, a book about playing TTRPG’s with family and TTRPG history that I reviewed in 2021! After some chatting, I was actually able to play a session with the game’s creators, which was an awesome experience! The Hero’s Tale was designed for smooth play, creating engaging characters, and easy encounter mechanics – I picked it up after a very quick pre-session review, and had a blast playing with Mark, Jake, and Brendon!

Interview: Kristin and Tim from Adorablins!

As soon as I saw Adorablins, I was excited to try it out and interview the creators. It looks super cute and, it turns out, the original version was played with a 2.5yo in mind, so perfect for introducing to my kid! I had a lot of fun chatting with Tim and Kristin about their experiences, their game, and their advice as both parents and creators!

Teen’s TTRPG review: Inspirisles

Inspirisles is a beautifully illustrated game that utilizes sign language as one of the spell casting components! Since I saw it, I knew I wanted to try it out with my son, and I was very excited to see him pick Inspirisles up right away (he even asks for it as the sign magic game now). This game was amazing, and I hope you give it a try!

Tips and Tricks: Turning your kid’s board games in RP time!

A lot of parents haven’t played D&D or classical TTRPG’s before and could be a little intimidated starting them out with their kids. However, most parents have probably played board games and are familiar with a lot of the mechanics. This can be a great springboard for starting to introduce role-playing elements seen in TTRPG’s to your games before adding a whole new ruleset.

All-ages TTRPG review: Trouble in Santa’s Workshop

I heard about Trouble in 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.

TTRPG BOOK review: Whispers of the Voidbringer

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!
