Running a game for kids. How?

- WotC has a ready-made selection of ready-to-play characters.
- Jim suggested Strixhaven as an ideal open-table beginner game.
How I discourage meta-gaming at my table
- Jason mentioned Paradox Perfect and the AP he enjoyed from the 3 Black Halflings Podcast.
- Jim mentioned Forged in the Dark RPGs.
- The Avatar Legends RPG just shipped and should be in stores soon.
