Cover Story: For the past 50 years, Dungeons & Dragons has established itself a genre-defining force in tabletop gaming by merging strategy, collaborative storytelling, and role-playing. This paper explores the therapeutic potential of tabletop role-playing games through individual and group case studies addressing anxiety, trauma, identity development, and social skills. Once relegated to basements, D&D is now played in clinical settings, acting as a healing word, thereby helping clients dispel fear, identify their strengths, and level up their mental health while casting light on new paths to growth. View this paper
