Emergency session at Kids D&D. I’ve got twice as many kids so we’re going to be playing Border Riding, a game of drawing a map and creating a community.

This is our starting map. I wonder how it’s going to turn out.

These six hexagons are our first session’s travels through the Boreal Frost Lands.

So far we’ve met traveling glove merchants, a cult in a building made out of whale and some creepy dudes drilling for skeletons.

We’re enjoying it.

The sun’s gone dim and the moon’s turned black…

We did charachter creation at Kids D&D and not a single one picked a Bard or a Rogue.

My Kids D&D are (despite the name) playing Cantrip today.

They’ve brought the two factions of the school together through the power of a talent show.

Montgomery Snob and Two Tone Pumpkins coming in to sing Under Pressure with the gender rebels and the hedge witches.

We’re playing Cantrip right now at Kids D&D, as a bit of a change in pace over the summer.

They seem to be getting into the swing of it and enjoying the chance to play out fun, low stakes magic school scenes.

And I named an NPC Montgomery Snob because that’s the level of creativity I’m working with right now.

I’m toying with the idea of a series of one shots for #DnD where everyone plays the same class.

So I subjected Kids D&D to an adventure where they all played level 3 Druids on their first trip out alone.

They enjoyed it, I was slightly annoyed by them deciding they all had the same name (it’s like they’re trying to give me a headache)

I think this specific one shot needs a little retooling but I like the concept. It’s fun and lets them have a deep dive into how a class works.

I used the Hexcrawl Toolbox to make a map. And then partially obscured it with leaves to for extra drama.

Sitting on the other side of the screen in Kids D&D today while a group of young people took us through the adventure they made with the Hexcrawl toolbox. While I helped out with rules clarifications.

It turns out players do unexpected things and talk over each other. Who knew.

They did a great job though.

Kids D&D going well today, my notes read: 4 Zombies, placated with sandwiches.

Cancelled all plans at Kids D&D this morning when they got excited about using the Hex Toolkit to make maps for each other.

I have four adventures planned now, and four groups who are going to ‘help’ me DM them in the next few weeks.

I honestly can’t wait to see what they’ve got planned.

I can really, really, 100% recommend the Hexcrawl Toolbox from Games Omnivorous.

I broke it out at Kids D&D today and we had fun with a quick one shot. I like having the kids make the rolls to randomly generate things.

Today they rolled to generate the puzzles in each room of a dungeon. I don’t always tell them what the numbers mean but I like to think that adds to the anticipation.
