About this Event

Recently, as a player, I've explored playing characters with psychopathologies or potential issues of mental health concern. This Q&A would start by describing these playing experiences, their context, and share observations. The audience would then enter into dialogue about best practices, their experiences as a player and/or game master, and engage in mutual learning on an informal basis.
