The Good Enough TTRPG session - TTRPGkids

TTRPGs for kids: The “Good Enough” session

I have read about, received messages from, and talked with several families and educators who are hesitant to start TTRPGs with their kids because they’re stressed about getting all the steps right.

While some concern is great (because it means that you’re thinking about it and trying to do well for the kids), it is also sometimes better to have a “good enough” session that actually happens versus a “perfect” session that stays in the planning phase.

How TTRPGs have helped my 5yo kid and me

How Tabletop RPGs have helped my 5yo kid and me

In 2021, I posted an article about how TTRPGs have helped my kid (then 3yo) and me. At that time, we had been playing TTRPGs for about 6 months and had tried out 8 games. Now, we’ve been playing TTRPGs for 2.5 years and have tried out close to 80 games together! With that growth, I think it’s about time to give an update on how TTRPGs have continued to help both my kid and me.
