The Kids Table

Planning sessions, we love to hate them. But, in kids' DnD, do they actually have a distinct purpose? In this episode, Ryan & Allison chat about how planning sessions help kids develop important life skills such as executive function, verbal processing, and teamwork - and, what important role adults at the table fill to help. Welcome to Area of Effect, a podcast from the creators of The Kids Table, where we discuss how tabletop RPGs benefit kids and answer your questions about playing TTRPGs with the kids at your table! About us: When kids are at the table, everyone wins! Playing Dungeons & Dragons (and other Tabletop Role-Playing Games) with kids helps develop critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, & confidence - not to mention the connections you'll build around the table. That's why we produce this original, kid-inclusive show along, share tip videos, and write adventure modules to help you play TTRPGs with the kids at your own table!

D&D puts players in control of a collaborative story, but can kids handle the necessary moral choices? On this episode, Allison & Ryan chat about a moral dilemma presented to our kid heroes in Season 2 of our show, why this was an age-appropriate theme, and how you can determine which topics to introduce to the kids at your own table.
