Area of Effect | S2E06: DMing on the Fly


Listen Later

It's a DM's worst nightmare: your D&D players have made an unexpected choice, obliterating your plans, and you now have to DM on the fly. Those who DM for kids can find themselves in this position more often than DMs with adults, because kids can be wonderfully and chaotically creative players! How can you encourage your players to follow the narrative crumbs without taking away their agency? How can a DM prepare for the unexpected and grow their comfort with going off-script? Ryan and Allison share some ideas that can 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!
