You can do anything with the game, which is pretty exciting. Like, you can do something totally random and unexpected and veer the dungeon master off course a little bit.

I think it's mostly about expression — you get to express yourself in ways you wouldn't otherwise get to. And you get to work together to tell a story.

It's such an immersive game that when you're playing it, you really get to connect with your friends in a way that maybe you just don't feel comfortable doing normally. Because you choose to be a whole new person, and you get to discover things about them that maybe you would never get to without playing the game.
BLAKE HERROD
It's fun because it's just adults playing pretend, right? Like we used to as kids. You can be a really cool warrior or a wizard. You can go on adventures. You also just build a smaller community, with your friends. That's super important to me.
AIDEN SWANK
I usually run the game instead of playing. So, the best part for me is that I get to create and share all the different worlds that I have in my head. I get to introduce everyone to the different sets of creativity that are going through my own mind and develop the world around it, and then engage with what my friends are thinking about.
