On this episode of The Shift Show, Zac welcomes Dr. Megan Connell to discuss how tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. They discuss the importance of play at any age, and how getting together with friends to roll dice and tell stories can be fun, memorable, and even therapeutic. How memories of adventures are encoded. How past memories of adventures with friends are encoded. Even going on imaginary adventures together can cement friendship bonds! Your character's central issues or limitation is often closely related to your own personal central issues.
