I love this article and the video! So great to see parents teaching their kids RPGs. I hope to teach my daughter when she is old enough. For now it’s all about my son! :)

Excellent, thanks for the article! I have a 5 year-old and a 3 year-old and I can’t wait to get them gaming.

Ah, this is a great point. The illustration shows only one relationship, not the interaction of the multiple relationships that form the multiplayer tabletop RPG experience. I’ll do a follow-up on the “chain-links” of how multiples of these loops connect. Thanks for the feedback!

We’ve been playing Talisman with our son (3) and daughter (5) for the past few weeks and they’re loving it. I was skeptical when hubby bought the pathfinder beginner box specifically for playing it with them, but I totally get it now. Thank you! Here’s to raising another generation of roleplayers!

The key complication that you’ve missed is that tabletop RPGs involve multiplying the situation-response-reaction loop by, at least, the number of players involved. Each player character has her own loop running. The GM has at least one storyline loop and possibly subloops for major NPCs and PC subplots. Where the RPG excels as a social exercise is in the intersections between the loops. As each player spins his loop, it causes the others’ loops to spin, change direction, or wobble. When you get an enthusiastic group of players, all kinds of strange and wonderful things happen from everyone following their own simple situation-response-reaction loop.

It’s cliche, but that was unbelievably cute.
