Episode 71: Doing it for the Kids
In episode 70 we talked about some of the mental, physical and emotional benefits of gaming but we also mentioned that kids get a lot from it as well – and here we are to talk just that! Learning is a constant process throughout our lives so make no mistake, the benefits we talk about in this episode apply to all gamers!
We should take a second to mention the Warhammer Alliance program and the opportunity it presents for teachers, scout leaders, parents and children – it’s a great way to kick of gaming in your local community. There is also plenty of information and resources you can use to launch a club of your own. There are even tournaments in the UK for the program!
With the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 just around the corner we take a moment to chat about the Indomitus Box that will be hitting shelves in July as well as the previewed next step models shown on Warhammer TV live on twitch. Mike is super excited for 9th and we hope to have a bunch of articles and content for you all soon.
