We say that when kids are able to roll dice, they're able to play D&D--because every kid likes to be part of a story. So what are the first steps that you can be taking at home to begin playing TTRPGs with kids? In this episode, Nicole from @gamemastermom talks with Allison and Ryan about how to know when your kids are ready to play, what you can do to scaffold the experience, and ways to make the initial sessions as fun as possible.

Welcome to Area of Effect, a podcast from the creators of The Kids Table, where we discuss how tabletop RPGs benefit kids and answer your questions about playing TTRPGs with the kids at your table!

About us: When kids are at the table, everyone wins! Playing Dungeons & Dragons (and other Tabletop Role-Playing Games) with kids helps develop critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, & confidence - not to mention the connections you'll build around the table. That's why we produce this original, kid-inclusive show along, share tip videos, and write adventure modules to help you play TTRPGs with the kids at your own table!
