The Kids Table D&D | Dungeons & Dragons for the Whole Family

In a recent episode of our original kid-focused Dungeons & Dragons show (S2E06 "An Ominous Warning"), the party wakes in the night to a surprise attack! Caught at a disadvantage, our heroes are in dire straights, and the kids start to get scared.

In the latest episode our original kid-focused Dungeons & Dragons show (S2E06 "An Ominous Warning"), mom Raenelle steps in to negotiate between new teen player Dillon and the rest of the group, thereby both modeling and including our kid players through the art of negotiation. We call the method she employs, "Yes, or", as opposed to the popular improv comedy method "Yes, and", and we think it's crucial to running TTRPG games with kids. Ryan and Allison discuss this method and how it empowers players of all ages at your TTRPG table without letting the game slide totally off the rails.
