I ran for a bunch of 10 year old boys at a library, and if left to their own devices they would have set each other in fire (in game) every episode. So we had some rules.

You may also find a big variation on experience and motivation/expectations, so it may be even more important than usual to discuss shared expectations.

That's great! I think nailing down the desired age range is the first question, followed by scheduling. Be prepared for players to appear and disappear from week to week - don't take it personally.

For me, the big question is whether you want to run a "library program", or if you're just looking for space to run a private game. I think D&D is one of the more popular YA programs in our state (not that you can't focus on adults). I'm happy to share anything I might know!

I really liked it, but it's definitely doing a thing, and it's doing it at its own pace.

Man, I always miss the setup for White Christmas. No wonder I'm so confused.

Tommy is good at summarizing. Kim has 3-4 brothers. Geddy is a straight up radical. Let them eat Debbie cakes. Randall looks good in a pot.

Some GREAT reminders for RPG's...or silly improv podcasts, for that matter.

These are all wonderful suggestions. And though they're intuitive, it's so easy to forget them in the midst of the game!

This might be the most best adaptation of a physical game into a TV show/movie.

When did we become Kim’s men? Kim learns about TTRPG love. Randall has a bed. It's not D&D until there's kissing.

It’s like a dragon, man. Kim gets all the splinters. Face the fury of Geddy’s Grammatic Orb. Randall interrupts a villain. Tommy channels his inner Robin Hood. Dark riders don’t know jack about reptiles.
