Perspective Checks | Game Master Mom - Tales of Aetheria & Gaming with Kids

Go check out Tales of Aetheria - An Unexpected Quest on Kickstarter now!

 

Welcome to another episode of Perspective Checks where I sit down with friends and folks from the TTRPG world and discuss what they love about this wonderful hobby!

 

For the first Perspective Checks this month I'm joined by Nicole, a.k.a. Game Master Mom to talk about playing TTRPGs with kids and her upcoming children's book / TTRPG for kids Tales of Aetheria! Nicole has an amazing social media persona where she gives great advice on playing games with kids and shares from her experiences as a nerd mom! Check her out on Instagram, YouTube, and all the social medias @gamemastermom.

 

We had an amazing chat about how she's developed her own system for playing with young players, how it inspired her book about imaginative worlds and play, and more.

 

Also, shout out to Raso, long-time home group member and recurring guest of the show for having his first ever D&D character Einar the dwarf immortalized in this book! Crazy coincidence and well deserved cameo haha!

I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep. I'm still working on whether I want to offer anything special over there or just give my extreme gratitude (maybe some stickers or something in the mail) to those who donate, but no pressure whatsoever :)
