I'd love to see it. Can you suggest a link? (or a title I can search for?)

If you ever run a one-shot, let me know. Or any other events that occupy the overlap of TTRPG and therapy.

Sigh, I don't think that'll work out for me. That's past my bedtime and would make for a late night.

Thanks for the invite. What timezone are you in?

I hope your game went well. Is this something you might consider doing again?

On Friday I'm running a social skills group and I'm going to try out a short RPG. I'm just winging it!

"narrow forms of exploration and self development". Exactly.

I'm trying to think of a counter argument for why it is a good idea to genderdize... well, anything. The best I've come up with is it makes it easier to predict people's behavior. There is comfort in that.

Ya, there seems to be a lot of people talking about it. I'm going to dive and I learn.

Maybe this is the article you mentioned? issuu.com/thinkpublish...

I missed your session. Can you suggest where I'd go to learn more about using TTRPG in a therapeutic setting?
March 21, 2025 at 8:22 PM
Ok, no worries. If something like this opens up in the future, I'd be keen. I'd love to learn more about it.

This is such an interesting idea. I'm curious about the therapeutic benefits of TTRPG. Have you gotten enough interested folks? Room for one more?
March 21, 2025 at 8:11 PM
Ah, I understand. Ya, saying XYZ book is for a particular gender seems... reductive and unnecessary. Kinda like how some toys are for boys and others are for girls. So many things are gendered! Why do we hold on so tightly to those categories?
March 21, 2025 at 8:02 PM
I'm curious why you think that. What component of the books do you feel would particularly benefit women?

Commuting or washing dishes with an audio book/podcast is the best!
