Welcome to TTRPGkids!

Tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) have many benefits to children (learning social and leadership skills, practicing math, gaining confidence in a safe place, making friends, family bonding… just to name a few) in addition to them just being fun.

My goal is to help you find the resources and tools that you need, all in one place, to make you tabletop RPGs accessible, fun, and educational for your particular kid or class.

This site covers everything from indie tabletop RPGs to D&D recommendations, tips and tricks, podcasts, reviews, creator interviews, crafts, and more so you can jump in and have fun playing these awesome games with your kids or make a wonderful game to share with the world!

Interview with RP Deshaies on rules bright TTRPGs

Interview with René-Pier Deshaies on “rules bright” TTRPGs

I had the opportunity to chat with RP Deshaies about his experience with game design, what “rules bright” mechanics are, and how this way of looking at mechanics makes games special, especially for young players. It was great getting to talk with RP, and I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Review of Super Cool Monster Hunting Club

Wild stories come to life in this TTRPG where the ideas of a kid’s imagination about the strange happenings in town turn out to be… at least a little bit true! Rock-paper-scissors your way to the source of the mystery to find out what REALLY happened, and have fun using actual household gear to do so!

Featured Project: Children With Wands, a TTRPG full of magical chaos!

We often think of bursting into a scene with full power as being better in tabletop RPGs, but… that’s not always the case! Children With Wands challenges this in an amazing fun and creative way as they try to learn how to use their magical abilities… and sometime accidentally crank the volume up a bit too much (which just makes the story wonderfully chaotic). Find out more here and go check out the project!

Review of Adventure Skeletons, a spooky skelly TTRPG

This one-pager TTRPG is all about playing as a skeleton… and trying to go on an adventure out in the human dungeon! We had a lot of fun playing this one out (it ended with skeletons defeating a balrog and running a spaghetti shop) and I hope you enjoy it too!

Featured Project: Epilogue, a spooky spelling TTRPG about your adventure’s end

Check out Epilogue for a fun twist on creating adventures in retrospect AND some awesome story-driving spelling mechanics that are great for both adults to play with vocab and for kids to practice reading skills!
