#42 - A vast world of tabletop gaming exists beyond the familiar realms of Dungeons & Dragons. In this episode, Clint speaks with Martin Lloyd, a father, lifelong gamer, and game designer who created a game to play with his four-year-old daughter on a rainy afternoon and published Amazing Tales by 2019. This game requires no prep for parents and makes GMing so simple that a 4-year-old can master it. We explore how to introduce children to this remarkable hobby and how to engage and connect with our children in meaningful ways. Let's talk about what else there is to play!"
