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!

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
