D&D is fun, but can it help improve player confidence? We recently shared clip on social media (on 5/2/25) showing a stark contrast between how kid player Khloe handled the pressure of mid-battle decision-making back in Season 1 compared to Season 2. On this episode, Allison, Nicole @gamemastermom, and Daniel @thedrawing bard chat about how they've seen kids grow in confidence while playing D&D, and about the vision behind Nicole & Daniel's new storybook "Tales of Aetheria: An Unexpected Quest". You can back the book now at www.kickstarter.com/projects/gamemastermom/tales-of-aetheria-an-unexpected-quest! 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!

In Season 2 Episode 06 of our original actual play Dungeons & Dragons campaign, 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. 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! thekidstablednd.com YouTube Instagram TikTok
