The Complete Guide to Christian-Friendly Tabletop RPGs
Dungeons & Dragons isn't demonic. But it's not automatically harmless either.

Every game we review gets a 5-tier rating based on six content categories: violence, language, sexual content, occultic themes, gambling mechanics, and online safety. Learn what Edifying vs. Concerning actually means, how we evaluate each category, and how to use the Compass to make confident choices without hovering over your kid's shoulder.

- The 6 content categories we evaluate
- How to read a breakdown for any game

Includes conversation starters for talking to your kids about boundaries without making gaming the enemy.
- The Gaming Window: a daily framework that works
- Weekend-only rules without the weekend binge
- Keeping gaming social: co-op, local multiplayer, family nights
- Conversation scripts that don't start a fight
