brennan lee mulligan making a new character
"TTRPG players" includes Brennan, yes.
I'm a forever DM, as a favor to all DMs out there, please don't use DND for therapy. We're not therapists, we're storytellers. We're just as likely to make things worse.
Ttrpg's can definitely be used by therapists (e.g.see https://gametogrow.org/ ) but people in general should not underestimate the skill and training professional therapists bring to the table. Just playing an rpg is not therapy.
I'm a forever GM too, and I made this meme referring to a player in my groups. She's an amazing player and I include her as often as possible. The point of the meme was not really to highlight that people use TTRPGs as a therapy replacement, though I definitely know that some might try that and I agree with you that it's not a good idea.
But if it's not for therapy why are there two ts in ttrpg :D
My characters almost always gain 90% of their trauma from the adventure itself.
Trauma Trauma Role Playing Game.
Double the trauma, double the… fun?
Double the trauma, double the drama
“Mmm, just like dad used to make.”
