What They're Saying

Critics Review

“A thoughtfully crafted resource that succeeds in making TTRPGs accessible to younger audiences. It encourages creativity and improvisation, providing valuable tools for young game masters, serving as a colourful companion along the way.”
- The Kind GM

“The latest absolutely stellar book in the already highly rated [Game Master] series. If you’re looking to get kids into Dungeons & Dragons at home, in a classroom or local game store, this book from Media Lab Books is perfect!”
- Nerdcore

The Game Master’s Book of Magic and Mayhem for Kids succeeds at what it sets out to do. It lowers the barrier to entry for new Game Masters without dumbing down the experience. The artwork is strong. The NPCs are memorable. The random tables are genuinely useful. The one-shot is the kind of premise an entire table will remember. This earns a 5 out of 5 for families, school clubs, or any group introducing younger players to tabletop RPGs.”
