I long meant to but don’t think I ever got around to blogging about the fun afternoon I spent last year playing a session of the excellent all-ages TTRPG Magical Kitties Save the Day with kiddo and two friends she’s made at the family camp we’ve been attending since 2022. (I also cannot be bothered to see if I did actually blog about this because I am writing this on my phone from a network-poor area and only because I’m feeling stupidly committed to my running “blog once a week” goal.

One of the highlights of this week’s family gathering was teaching my cousin’s kids to play the all-ages TTRPG Magical Kitties Save the Day. I didn’t make a firm commitment, but I did suggest we might be able to revisit our game sometime over Zoom.

This summer has been a good one for getting back into tabletop roleplaying. I played a lot of the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars RPG in middle and high school and have been spending most of my life since then wishing that I were still that involved with RPGs. I’ve compensated some by listening to actual play podcast: Total Party Kill rotates through several great D&D campaigns, the original Fantasy Flight Star Wars run of Campaign is so good that I’m listening to it a second time, and Penny Arcade’s Tales from the Loop campaign blew my mind when I listened to it a few months ago.

Kiddo and I are getting back into the “Magical Kitties Save the Day” TTRPG, and she keeps asking me when we can play next. Feels like a win!
