Review Mages & Macrophages, a zombie tabletop game adventure by Ampersand RPG!

I got to try out Mages & Macrophages! This is a FULL game kit that comes with everything needed (DM screen, minis, maps, dice, character sheets, item tokens, and more) to really just sit down and immediately start playing a game. PLUS it has 5e compatible simplified rules that took maybe 5 minutes to understand. I was really excited to try this out, and I had a great time playing this with my family!

Interview with Navaar, host of Secret Nerd Podcast about starting kids on tabletop RPGs

I had an awesome chat with Navaar, creator of Secret Nerd Podcast, a diverse interview show about different experiences with tabletop RPGs. As a father of three toddlers, Navaar offered some great insight about concerns that parents may have when starting tabletop RPGs 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 tabletop RPGs to their children.

Review of The Hero’s Tale, a family focused tabletop RPG

I found out about The Hero’s Tale while reading Roll Dice, Build Character, a book about playing tabletop RPGs with family and tabletop RPG 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!
