It's a powerful tool for growth, connection, and imagination.

Our online groups run year-round with consistent peer groups, age-appropriate content, and a free character creation session for every new player.

Kids D&D (ages 8-12)

Weekly sessions where younger players build confidence, practice teamwork, and tell their first epic stories. Perfect for beginners and experienced players alike.

Older teens dive into deeper storytelling, complex strategy, and genuine peer connections. Same safety, same consistency, pitched to their age.

Get Started

The Heroes Circle

One-on-one mentorship where D&D powers real-world growth. Every Heroes Circle session plugs into your kid's campaign — effort and milestones in daily life earn rewards in the game.

🧭 Executive Functioning Mentoring

Organization, homework support, communication, and self-regulation — structured 1:1 guidance for the skills school demands and daily life requires.

🎨 Creative Tutoring

Private lessons in creative writing, filmmaking, music, and DM craft — taught by a working teaching artist, with the same D&D rewards system driving progress.

How the D&D Integration Works:

  • Real-life progress earns in-game rewards — effort, milestones, and habits translate into character perks
  • Works standalone or alongside an Online D&D group — most families do both for compounded benefits
  • 45-minute 1:1 sessions — focused attention on your kid's specific goals

💰 Pricing

$70 per 45-minute session.
$50 per session when paired with an Online D&D group — a $20 savings every week.

💛 Who It's For

Ages 8–17. Neurodiverse youth, kids who thrive with creative structure, students needing support with organization and self-regulation, and young creatives ready to go deeper.

Same mentor, same engine, your choice of focus. Whether your kid needs help organizing homework or wants to score their first short film, the method is the same — and it's built to keep them showing up.

  • "Chris really brings out the best in my neurodiverse 10-year old. Each week my son would transform from a withdrawn, bored, unmotivated student to a joyful, fully engaged child who was enthralled by the worlds Chris transported him to and buoyed by the positive social interactions he was having with the other players."

    Nancy F.

  • "Chris is an amazing DM. My younger son is a super-fan of D&D and the Heroes Circle group is a dream come true for him. We can't recommend the program more highly!"

    Becky E.

  • "My nine-year-old sons were in remote school all year and needed motivation to stay present and organized in class. The ‘screen’ became a tool for work but could also distract them while in class with games and YouTube. Chris gave them strategies to stay focused and motivated. They both enjoyed the mentorship and friendship they gained working with him. As boys full of imagination and curiosity, their connection to D&D games, characters, and stories were a perfect match."

    Margi D.

  • "He later started mentoring sessions with Chris to work on Executive Function and writing skills, and the D&D and mentoring are a perfect combination. Chris’ patience, his kindness, and his mentoring abilities have really helped my son’s confidence and his ability to tackle challenges."

    Chris Y.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • That's the most common starting point! Every new player gets a free one-on-one character creation session, so they arrive at their first game already knowing their character and their DM.
