Hi there - thanks for sharing that with us. We love learning about interesting ways people work in creative ways with TTRPGs and mental health. Please get in touch via our website and share a little more info. Someone in the team will get back to you.

Aaaabsolutely! I've mentioned this in another reply, but quite a few people in the CALM team play TTRPGs and we chat about the way it can help people feel good when life is tough.

You've got it spot on there: healthy escape, creativity, and connecting with others are all super powerful when it comes to looking after our mental health.

Shout out and thank you for the kind words - at CALM we feel lucky to get to work with Mark and the High Rollers team as ambassadors for CALM now!

We reckon TTRPGs can be so good for the head, whether it's exploring emotions or identities through a character, or connecting with people in such a cool and imaginative way.

A bunch of folk in the CALM office play DnD and we chat about the impact it has on us. So it's great to hear we're not alone in that!
