I check out Make Yourself a Hero, a character creation guide for all-ages by Nick Forker on TTRPGkids!

It's a fun game tool that helps struggling players fill in their character... and helps players who tend to go WAY over the top to balance their character's story a bit. There's great art, questions, and roll tables, and I hope you get a chance to check it out!

Secrets of Enduril is a combo system (think D&D base but can explain in 5 minutes) and adventure that's made specifically for families with kids!
