Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

I wanted to share a new story from my D&D experience - this time a very recent experience! Last week I took on the role of a D&D Camp Counsellor for a group of 6 kids between ages 10 - 14 over March break. It was a gruelling experience but a lot of fun too. I have a lot of public play experience as well as running tables of kids, but this was a 5-day campaign arc that I ran for the same group of kids and I came back with a lot of lessons learned and some great gaming memories! I think the kids all left at the end of the week with great gaming memories too and fantastical tales to tell their friends when they return school. Tune to hear how I prepared for this and how the experience actually played out.
