An Enriching Experience: 8 Real-World Benefits of Role Playing Games

By Kate Anderson

Abstract

"Tabletop roleplaying games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and others, are reemerging in popularity among young people and moving into mainstream culture.  RPGs allow young people to collaborate in building a world and narrative that is entirely their own, allowing them to escape reality while simultaneous building real-world skills and relationships."
