Review of Gangs Jr., a tabletop wargame designed for kids

Gangs Jr. was my first foray into playing wargame style tabletop RPgs, and it actually worked really well as an introduction for myself, in addition to being a lot of fun for my kid. We ran a very fun water balloon fight across a map covered in blocks and toys, and loved the simplified system for getting both a newcomer and a little one into a new type of gaming.

Review of Jump Rangers, an all-ages sci-fi tabletop RPG

Jump Rangers is a full game system (complete with gear, a creature list, lore, characters, and stories) that plays out like an epic space opera! The storytelling was great, and kiddo loved using special powers to resolve some exciting scenes – go high and go far, Rangers!

Review of Dino Riderz, a roaringly fun tabletop RPG for kids

Dino Riderz is another awesome game setting released by Family Fantasy RPG, this one focusing on… dinosaurs! The Family Fantasy RPG system is a tabletop role-playing game designed for all ages, stepping in difficulty depending on your child’s age and including lots of awesome additional activities to complete during these storybook style adventures!

Review of Babies and Broadswords, a tabletop RPG full of fun and mischief

I played Babies and Broadswords with the creators of the game and had a blast! It’s a perfect balance of mechanics (not too easy and not too hard), and it was a great throwback to mornings watching Rugrats with my siblings. I had a lot of fun, and I highly recommend playing with both your kids and your grown-up tables!

Review of Overgrown, a nature-punk tabletop RPG for all ages!

I played Overgrown with my 3yo, and we had a lot of fun! The chaotic combinations of creatures that make up the player’s characters was a HUGE hit with kiddo (who picked an Owlcat named Owllie), and the d20 only mechanics were easy for kiddo to understand. We ran a fun adventure that started with chasing a flock of sharkbirds (which we are calling a tornado of sharks) that were trying to steal breakfast from some mice, and had a great time letting my 3yo navigate the story from there! I hope you have a great game too!

Tiny Tome, Tiny TTRPG Review: Trash Bandits

It’s heist time! Take on the role of a mischievous raccoon bandit and pull of a daring and exciting heist using fun prompts in this 1-page tabletop RPG!

Tiny Tome, Tiny TTRPG Review: Omotenashi

Omotenashi is a cozy storytelling prompt game all about hospitality and helping others feel welcome. In this animal-populated world, take on the roles of staff members as a getaway for a variety of guests, all with different needs, and figure out how to help them relax and find inspiration in their lives.

Tiny Tome, Tiny TTRPG Review: Troublesome Tots

Troublesome Tots is a fun and chaotic caretaker versus the kids tabletop RPG with some awesome Rugrats-style vibes! It’s rules lite, has a great premise, and was a fun game to try out!

Tiny Tome, Tiny TTRPG Review: 5 Second Rule

Congrats! You have superpowers (!!), but they are limited to 5 seconds. Maybe you can only turn back time by 5 seconds or maybe you can only gain super strength for 5 second intervals, but you still need to escape, complete daring feats of super heroism, and have adventures! Use these limits to get creative and work together to use your powers to their fullest.
