Inspirisles - a tabletop RPG for teaching sign language to teens

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!

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!

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!

Review of DnD Adventure Club: a collection of tabletop RPG stories for kids!

When I first heard of DnD Adventure Club, I was excited to check it out! It is a monthly D&D adventure subscription with ready-made stories that are appropriate for and geared at kids ages 8-12! I loved reviewing the quickstart and first adventure for DnD Adventure Club and think this would be great for kids and for adult players who are new to D&D alike!
