The author introduces a creative way to engage young children in tabletop-style role-playing games by creating interactive stories with familiar settings like Pontypandy from Fireman Sam. However, the children struggle to engage due to verbal skills and short-term memory issues. To enhance the experience, the author creates a makeshift map of Pontypandy by stitching together screenshots from the show. The map-making process is described in detail, including using Gimp grids and an architect’s scale for accuracy. The author hopes to improve the map with labels and location screenshots in the future and shares the process in case others have a similar idea or better results to share.
