Less formal updates than the News section about therapeutic and educational aspects of role-playing games. See Disclaimers portion of website for reminders. Postings in this Blog section are usually much more casual than the News or Documents areas, but they help the community stay more active, vibrant, and informed.

Though this is a computer-based RPG (Role-Playing Game) study, pending testing with tabletop, it seems possible that it could apply in tabletop RPG, LARP (Live-Action Role-Playing), and maybe even CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) forms of RPG as well? I would be interesting to perform the same style study with the other formats to see if the format changes the results (or not). Received 10/26/13; Revision accepted 12/11/13
