How to dungeon master parenting : a guidebook for gamifying the child-rearing quest, leveling up your skills, and raising future adventurers / Shelly Mazzanoble.
"Gather your party, moms and dads; it's time to level up your parenting game. For years, millions of fans have looked to the beloved roleplaying 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 great parents. Where do you find an adventuring party that will have your back? What must-have starting equipment should you own before bringing home baby? How does your gaming style influence your parenting style? What even is a parenting style? You don't have to know how to be a Dungeon Master to master parenting-just think like one. With candor, humor, and a dragon's hoard of real-world tips, this "elf-help" guide is the perfect gift for the gamer, fantasy lover, or anyone with a sense of humor ready to master the role of a lifetime. Knowing your toddler's alignment is half the battle! A little magic missile doesn't hurt either. Babies may not come with rulebooks, but now their parents do"-- Provided by publisher.
