Paradoxically, by accepting permission to be someone you are not, you are freed to be more yourself. Games like Dungeons & Dragons provide rich universes that invite opportunities for self-exploration and development. Your character can inspire growth that can integrate back into real life. The wisdom of RPGs can be harnessed to bring greater intentional depth and meaning to your games.
