Welcome to Episode 8 of ‘What Is Roleplay?!
This episode we are joined by James D’Amato to discuss Personal Play
- An important, yet often undiscussed, topic – personal play encompasses anything in game play that you do on your own – things like world building, rolling dice to create a character, and writing character backstories.
- The realisation that roleplaying isn’t just the time we spend around a table with other people.
- ‘Play’ is something that we are encouraged to grow out of as we reach adulthood – in reality it is fun and therapeutic for adults too!
- Personal play as a good option for folks who don’t get to game with others as often as they’d like.
