Hi all! I'm Steph Campbell, who you may know as the person behind @ttrpgkids.com!

I decided it was time to make my own profile, and I'm looking forward to being "me" here and also sharing some of my non-TTRPGkids related projects 👀

1. Let them make bad choices because bad choices are more fun.

2. Make every natural 1 as much fun as a natural 20 to get them to embrace character failure.

3. Don’t teach them to make optimal characters — they will learn fast enough on their own.

4. Embrace the Wild.

5. Know their boundaries.

One of the presentations I did earlier this year... And you can catch @ichistorian.bsky.social and me again TOMORROW presenting on a different TTRPG x EDU topic at Pax U!
@ichistorian.bsky.social and I presented together at Origins 2025 on how TTRPGs teach WAY more than math and reading... and we recorded it so those who couldn't attend in person could still listen!

Check out our audio + slides here:

I wrote this to give folks an idea of what PPD can be, show that help is out there, and emphasize the importance of listening and connecting when someone needs a hand.

Please check it out, and I hope my XP can help anyone who is experiencing or has experienced this as well.
Today's TTRPGkids post is a bit different... this one goes over my experiences with PPD and how D&D helped me through.

My hope is that you use this to find connection to your own story and not feel so alone or to better understand someone else’s story for when they need help.
