Allison & Red Wyrm discuss how to transition kids into the D&D Dungeon Master seat on this episode of Area of Effect. Red Wyrm and his son "The Wyrmling" started playing D&D when The Wyrmling was just 2 years old, and he started DMing at the ripe age of 4! Red Wyrm now publishes DMing tips & plot hooks by The Wyrmling on Instagram and Blue Sky and his blog with DMing advice and random tables for your home game can be found at www.Wyrmden.com! A great place to start encouraging your kid to DM is to help create the world & story - ask them for their suggestions for the setting, NPCs, and storyline or have them help draw/build the game map. Red Wyrm also suggests teaming new kid DMs up with an adult DM with the kid running the story and the adult assisting on the more complicated game mechanics. Any kid can boost their confidence, social skills, & speaking skills by jumping into the DM role!
