Long Description:
Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs) are more than just entertainment—they are powerful tools for self-expansion, allowing players to explore new identities, develop problem-solving skills, and enhance emotional intelligence. Rooted in Self-Expansion Theory (Aron & Aron, 1996), this session examines how role-playing fosters creativity, social bonding, and real-world personal growth. Through immersive storytelling, players gain confidence, practice perspective-taking, and engage in meaningful collaborative experiences. We will also explore applications in education, therapy, and personal development, supported by research on role-playing games, including MMORPG studies. Join us to discuss how TTRPGs can be harnessed for transformation beyond the game table.
