Greetings,

Many thanks to you for your support in my efforts researching the
effects of role-playing games, and using RPGs to help others. I thought
you might find this article of interest. I was twice interviewed this
year by HBO's Documentary Division: VICE Media - http://www.vice.com -
Yesterday they published an online article, in conjunction with a
related video documentary on Autism and Live-Action Role-Playing.

http://www.vice.com/read/at-this-danish-school-larping-is-the-future-of-education-482

The article is primarily about using LARP for Education, and
specifically the Danish school I have mentioned for years. Fortunately,
they included part of one of their two interviews they conducted, and
were quite generous in using many parts and links.

It is a good high-level article on the power of RPGs to increase
immersion and other benefits when used in an academic setting. The
video that is also embedded in the article is a nice example of the
many benefits of LARP for Autism too.

Please do check it out, and spread the word to others.

Happy Gaming!

MISSION

1) To clearly establish, through rigorous scientific testing, the
therapeutic and educational effects of all forms of role-playing gaming
(tabletop, live-action, & computer-based) on participants. In addition
to determining the potential relevance of correlated factors,
significant emphasis is focused contributing to the body of causal
research information.

2) Based on established research, using relevant evidence-based and
theory-based approaches, design, develop, and implement intervention
programs using various forms of role-playing games as a therapeutic
and/or educational modality.
