5 Tips and Tricks for Tracking Spells and Magic in Kid’s Tabletop Role-Playing Games

As an adult, I sometimes have a hard time keeping track of all my spells both when I’m a player or when I’m a story leader. There’s a bunch of weird names, specific casting rules and descriptions, spells lots, spell levels, etc. It can be even harder for kids, especially when they can’t read. Here are some tips to help with making spell tracking more accessible to kids!

Review of Babies and Broadswords, a tabletop RPG full of fun and mischief

I played Babies and Broadswords with the creators of the game and had a blast! It’s a perfect balance of mechanics (not too easy and not too hard), and it was a great throwback to mornings watching Rugrats with my siblings. I had a lot of fun, and I highly recommend playing with both your kids and your grown-up tables!

StoryGuider: The Rune Warrior’s Tale – a collaboration with Family Fantasy RPG!

StoryGuider: The Rune Warrior’s Tale is my first collaboration game! I worked with Colin from Family Fantasy RPG to create an origin story for his rune warrior character using the StoryGuider system! We are also donating proceeds from the project to charity, so check it out, have fun, and support some great causes!

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!

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 is a cozy storytelling prompt game all about hospitality and helping others feel welcome.

Troublesome Tots is a fun and chaotic caretaker versus the kids tabletop RPG with some awesome Rugrats-style vibes! It’s rules lite, has a great premise, and was a fun game to try out!

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.
