"The social support nurtured by playing D&D gives players emotional and social connection and offers them a space in which they can express themselves freely."

Players told of benefits of escapism, as well as exploration of self, creative expression, social support and routine, and the positive impact all of this had on their mental health

Chris Pine is right about Dungeons & Dragons. It helps ignite our imagination and learn to work together. Like so many games, we should make it part of our kids' education — in school and at home.

Another progress shot, once again a sidekick, Joorge the Tortle Healer. Leaning toward the druid spell list, he was added to a smaller party to compliment the fighter of the group. Though he does often help the fighter with his schenanigans, he is a vital part of the party who over the next couple of weeks will take on the mysterious Lady Roc.
