I’ve had some pretty bad TTRPG experiences; bad tables, awkward moments, even a slap in the face “for roleplay.” But I still love this hobby. This post is my cautionary tale for new adventurers.

D&D is just the doorway. Tabletop RPGs can take you to worlds of horror, sci-fi, mystery, or self-discovery. Role-playing isn’t a genre; it’s a shared language of imagination.
TTRPG Doesn’t Mean Just Dungeons & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons may be the world’s most famous tabletop role-playing game, but it’s far from the only one. The TTRPG universe is vast — filled with horror, sci-fi, mystery, romance, and introspection. Even D&D itself can be reshaped to fit any genre or era, from noir investigations to cosmic horror. Understanding this diversity matters, because it reminds us that role-playing isn’t about dragons or dungeons — it’s about imagination, collaboration, and the endless ways we can tell stories together.

How TTRPGs Support Mental Health: From Focus to Social Connection
Tabletop role-playing games are more than fantasy and dice, they’re a form of connection and healing. Recent research by the American Psychological Association shows that TTRPGs can help people with ADHD, autism, and anxiety improve focus, empathy, and social skills. By blending structure and imagination, these games create safe spaces to explore identity, build confidence, and practice collaboration. In every story shared at the table, there’s not just adventure, there’s growth.
