    Our family friendly DnD campaign reaches a crossroads as the heroes disagree about how to destroy the power source and escape the island.

However, when they must decide what to do about their discoveries, some ideas are more...explosive...than others. Meanwhile, our youngest heroes just want to eat pancakes!

    Show notes

    The Kids Table LIVE dungeons & dragons actual play is a recording of a SXSW Edu 2026 performance by @thekidstablednd . "What if students could level up their Social-Emotional Learning skills while playing a tabletop roleplaying game? Our cast of kids & grownups will perform for you a live, improvised, likely chaotic game of Dungeons & Dragons. Afterwards, our adult speakers will break down how the game you just saw fosters outcomes like empathy, communication, and confidence, and why this type of support is so critical now. You'll come away with ideas for how to integrate D&D and other TTRPGs into classroom, library, after school, or home environments."

    For the educational presentation following this live-play, please check out Episode 35 on our podcast channel "Area of Effect".

However, upon entering, a hidden enchantment was triggered and our heroes shrank to the size of mice! Facing a set of now giant stairs to access the witch's workshop, Nature cast Bubble Wand to float the party up the stairs, but a misjudged push from Glugwort sent the bubble spinning right into the sharp horns of a trio of angry Bora Bora Bugs!
