Unleash the Queer Geek Within: Queer Identity Development through TTRPGS
A presentation by Menachem Cohen (he/they) , Kayla Devorak MS (she/her) , Lara Taylor Kester LMFT (she/her) and Jessie Duncan MA, LPC, NCC, CTP (she/they)
About this Event
TTRPGS are great tools for exploring who we are. Panelists from CASTT (Community of Applied, Spiritual, and Therapeutic Tabletop) Gamers will discuss their experiences discovering and playing with their identities, specifically queer identities, through role playing games. They will also discuss how their own explorations make them better practitioners and more aligned with their queer geek selves.
Learning Objectives
1. Participants will be able to identify ways TTRPGs can help queer individuals develop/discover their identity.
2. Participants will learn the potential benefits of queer only gaming groups vs. mixed groups playing games with queer themes.
3. Participants will be able to name at least 3 TTRPGs identify by or for queer people.
