Synopsis

Gather your party, it’s time to level up your parenting game! For years, millions of fans have looked to the beloved role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons for fun, friendship, and entertainment. And now parents and parents-to-be can use it to gain inspiration and how-to when it comes to their most challenging and rewarding role yet. Dungeon Masters are not just expert storytellers and arbiters of the rules, they’re compassionate, creative, quick-thinking leaders who embody the same traits that make a great parent. Where do you find an adventuring party who will have your back? What must-have starting equipment should you own before venturing into babyland? How does your gaming style reflect your parenting style? You don’t have to know how to be a Dungeon Master to master parenting—just think like one. Kids may not come with rulebooks, but now their parents do.

Thank you to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for sending me an audio-ARC in exchange for review. 4.5 stars First I’d like to start off by saying I am not a parent nor am I a pregnant individual, though it is likely in my near future. I mainly just love dungeons and dragons and saw this and thought wow t......more

So many wonderful comparisons between DMing and Raising Kids that I hadn’t recognized, even though I’m constantly making up stories and using roleplay to teach my boys valuable skills. For the D&D Nerd/Parent, this is a simple and entertaining guide to surviving parenting!......more
