Unexpected parenting difficulties

Being a dungeon master for ages 12/12/9 is surprisingly difficult. But so far, they seem to be having fun?

They didn’t have enough of an attention span the first session to do a Session Zero, but they’ve given feedback since then so I think it’s probably enough to go on now? Obviously I’m not hitting any really rough emotional stuff, but even things like “combat, talky stuff, or puzzles?” is surprisingly difficult to maneuver.

This session they all got pets (no magical abilities, just cute pets that follow them around and then run away during combat) so that was a big hit!

Definitely open to (written) suggestions for how to (BRIEFLY) discuss Session Zero topics. 😁

(please no podcasts or videos, due to my own hearing and attention issues!)
