Review of Jump Rangers, an all-ages sci-fi tabletop RPG

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!

Interview with Martin from the Daddy Rolled a 1 blog!

I’ve known Martin as DaddyRolleda1 on twitter for over a year now, and we’ve had chats about playing TTRPG’s with kids from the start – he was one of my inspirations for starting the TTRPGkids blog, and it was an awesome opportunity to get to sit down and chat about his experiences with table top role playing games, working with Wizards of the Coast, and introducing his daughter and her friends to D&D.

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!
