Making a tabletop RPG for YOUR particular kid: The Quickstart Guide
A downloadable game
Find the full book version of this guide from the 2024 crowdfunding campaign here!
--------------
This version here is a quick start guide that walks you through making a tabletop RPG that fits your particular kid's interests, skill level, and boundaries!
It is intended to help you:
- Create a comfortable game for everyone
- Provide a clear method to pause the game if it gets overwhelming
- Come up with a theme and characters that your kid connects with
- Build a meaningful player character with your kid
- Adjust mechanics to your kid’s level
- Create your own rules-lite mechanics
- Get ideas for extra elements to bring into the game
- Enjoy your game together!
The files here include both a one-page sheet (so it's all just on one single page) and a longer document (with some extra detail and larger writing spaces) to fit your gaming needs. I walk through each step so you have a clear process for making something special for your kid without having to guess at what to do next or worrying that you've forgotten something.
I also have a guided walkthrough along with more tips and tricks on my site, TTRPGkids.com!
Check out the files below, and enjoy the games you create together!

Note: the "one page - printer friendly" file is missing the last word of the title.
Glad you're trying it out! I hope it helps!
And thank you for letting me know about the missing word - looks like the header box wrapped to the next line. It's updated if you want to re-download!
Thanks for the update!
