1. Bowman, S. L. (2010) – The Functions of #Role-PlayingGames : How Participants #Create#Community, #Solve#Problems and #Explore#Identity
This study explores how #TTRPGs serve as a #tool for participants to explore various aspects of their identity, cope with #personalissues , and #foster community. Bowman provides insight into the #psychological benefits of role-playing games, such as #stress#relief, #socialskillsdevelopment , and #emotional#exploration .
