Content Creator - Will be at Play 2025

Michela Giannoni, known as Gamer_mamma, is a content creator who blends a passion for games with a love of education and family. Since 2019, she has become a key figure in promoting intergenerational gaming culture, with a focus on accessibility and the educational value of play.
She is a GM, writer, and speaker for children and beginners, making it her mission to introduce others to gaming in a simple, warm, and engaging way.
Her work touches on topics like educational games, managing gaming experiences with children, and the cognitive and social benefits of play. Through empathy and an inclusive approach, she’s created a space where kids and newcomers can thrive and grow through games.
She also uses play to raise awareness around sensitive issues such as bullying, body-shaming, social isolation, and verbal abuse.


One of her upcoming projects is GDR4KIDS, a beginner-friendly RPG manual designed to introduce kids to roleplaying and parents to the role of narrator, through fun and accessible adventures.
