I was super privileged to be part of a panel discussion at PAX last week, on the benefits of Tabletop RPGs for social growth alongside some other amazing panelists and wonderful people!
Panelists were:
-Dwayne Fernandes – Ambassador of Engagement, Minds at Play (He/Him)
-Ian Bennett – Senior Adventure Guide, Dice 4 Diversity Gaming (He/Him)
-Daniel Machuca – Dan the GM, Teacher, Podcaster, Game Developer (He/Him)
-Dr. Susannah Emery from UniSA (University of South Australia) (She/They)
During the panel I got to speak about the white paper that I recently wrote with my colleague Dr Michele Jarldorn and the support of Minds at Play! It was a great panel and an awesome experience!
