DM for Kids: Back in the Saddle (literally…)

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Tolrendordm

In my last DM for Kids column I lamented the fact that scheduling D&D sessions was not happening nearly as frequently  as I’d like! However, my intention was to rectify that over the Christmas holidays …. and I’m very happy … Continue reading →

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Tolrendordm
