How can you encourage your players to follow the narrative crumbs without taking away their agency? How can a DM prepare for the...

Planning sessions, we love to hate them. But, in kids' DnD, do they actually have a distinct purpose? In this episode, Ryan & Allison chat about how planning sessions help kids develop important life skills such as executive function, verbal processing, and teamwork - and, what important role adults at the table fill to help.

D&D is fun, but can it help improve player confidence? We recently shared clip on social media (on 5/2/25) showing a stark contrast between how kid player Khloe handled the pressure of mid-battle decision-making back in Season 1 compared to Season 2. On this episode, Allison, Nicole @gamemastermom, and Daniel @thedrawing bard chat about how they've seen kids grow in confidence while playing D&D, and about the vision behind Nicole &...

In the latest episode our original kid-focused Dungeons & Dragons show (S2E06 "An Ominous Warning"), mom Raenelle steps in to negotiate between new teen player Dillon and the rest of the group, thereby both modeling and including our kid players through the art of negotiation. We call the method she employs, "Yes, or", as opposed to the popular improv comedy method "Yes, and", and we think it's crucial to running TTRPG games with k...
