Long Description:
RPGs blur the line between character and self—so how do we keep the game fun without compromising mental well-being? Whether you’re a GM, player, or mental health professional, this panel will explore how to navigate emotional bleed, establish healthy boundaries, and foster a table where horror, drama, and deep roleplay don’t come at the cost of real-life distress. Featuring insights from professional GMs and mental health experts, including Alicia Figliuolo, Beverly M. Griffor, PhD, JD, MBA, MS, Shane Tilton, PhD, and Kayla Balensiefer, LCSW, LICSW, this discussion will equip you with tools to create safer, more mindful gaming spaces.
