In a recent episode of our original kid-focused Dungeons & Dragons show (S2E06 "An Ominous Warning"), the party wakes in the night to a surprise attack! Caught at a disadvantage, our heroes are in dire straights, and the kids start to get scared. Ryan and Allison discuss when and how it's appropriate to include scary elements into your D&D game with kids.

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!
