My sons character is also called Puck 🤩

Hes a cheeky winger tiefling fighter called "puck bluelight"

We took it from Shakesperes Midsummer Nights Dream

It’s a good name.

Puck’s dad’s boss sounds…

…draconian.

That's amazing.

I tried to DM my first game in Grade 4, when I was probably 10 years old.

Having a 8 year DM around is just fantastic.

It has been a lot of fun. I too started DMing when I was ten. My son has been running games for 4 years now and he is getting pretty good.

This is SO amazing for his future skill set.

My buddy in government wrote an extremely famous blog post about how everything that made him good in government he learned at the gaming table.

I would like to get my family up to the table again, those skills are mad useful across the board.

I actually teach a weekly class for homeschool kids on DnD. It has so many benefits to improve all their social skills, math skills, communication skills, and problem solving skills.
