Review of the Luciana Witherwood adventure in Tavern Tales, plus a highlight on helpful TTRPG tools
Tavern Tales is a D&D 5e compatible adventure setting and book that, I believe, is generally made for older kids or grown-ups, however… it does include a very kid-friendly adventure that shows how TTRPGs aimed at all-ages accessibility can be just as exciting as any other quest, AND, as a whole book, features several tools and aides to help with gameplay that I haven’t seen in many kid-focused TTRPGs but that could add quite a bit to the experience and allow several other adventures in the book to potentially be used with players ages 8+.

Review of Raccoon Sky Pirates!
Raccoon Sky Pirates is a TTRPG full of chaos and trash pandas taking to the skies in search of the wondrous treasures just waiting to be plucked from the suburbs! With creative mechanics that push players to come at a problem with their character’s full personality, it’s great for getting into some creative trouble and having a blast (just hopefully not with the ship actually blasting) at any age.
