4. Embrace the Wild.
5. Know their boundaries.

Today's TTRPGkids post is a bit different... this one goes over my experiences with PPD and how D&D helped me through.
My hope is that you use this to find connection to your own story and not feel so alone or to better understand someone else’s story for when they need help.

Hi all! I'm Steph Campbell, who you may know as the person behind @ttrpgkids.com!
I decided it was time to make my own profile, and I'm looking forward to being "me" here and also sharing some of my non-TTRPGkids related projects 👀

Ok so I just learned something about myself tonight after reading this post-
Conversations with the 9yo DM:
9yo DM: I had a great time playing Magic the Gathering, and the people were really nice though a little weird.
Me: What do you mean weird?
9yo DM: Are all Magic the Gathering players just DnD min/maxers who got tired of roleplaying?

Monster of the Week from the 9yo DM:
