Teenagers have a notoriously difficult time connecting with others, and everything in our modern world--from our disappearing public spaces to the fear of identity formation brought on by social media--seems designed to keep them apart as much as possible. In this episode, Allison describes how tabletop RPGs help bridge the gaps between teens, between adults and teens, and--crucially--between teens and their own identities.

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!
