Wonderful news, I received an email confirming they wish for
me to proceed with writing the entire chapter on using role-playing
games as a facilitation technique for therapeutic recreation!

Writing a full chapter, on Role-Playing Games (All formats: tabletop,
live-action, computer-based, and solo adventure books/modules), in the
upcoming 4th edition textbook "Facilitation Techniques in Therapeutic
Recreation" by Professors Dattilo and McKenney of Penn State!

I hope to have the final drafts completed over this summer. There are
only 2 textbooks on this topic (Facilitation Techniques in TR) available
(the other is from Stumbo), and all Recreational Therapists must cover
this topic as part of their training and working toward NCTRC
certification as CTRS.

As far as I have been able to find researching since 2004, there is
zero literature in the TR profession, beyond what I have created and
disseminated, about any role-playing game format. This will cover all
forms of role-playing games: tabletop, live-action, computer-based, and
solo adventure books & modules. It will focus the most on the tabletop
and LARP modes, but include considerations for using the other 2 modes.

I already wrote a rough draft of this when Dattilo suggested he was
interested after seeing my presentation on RPG & Recreation Therapy at
the Pacific Northwest Therapeutic Recreation Association a year and
half ago (PNWTRA).

Just thought I'd share the great news!

Happy Gaming!

OVERVIEW & MISSION:
Beginning in 1985, and formalized in 2004, The RPG Research Project is
a global and interdisciplinary community effort to research the effects
of role-playing games (RPGs) in all formats: tabletop (TRPG),
live-action (LARP), computer-based (CRPG), & solo adventures (CYOA).
This open community website was created in 2004 as a central repository
for past, current, and future research. Additional focus includes
studies on the therapeutic and educational aspects of RPGs. The
community is welcomed and encouraged to contribute to this site through
the many resources provided, including document archives, forum
bulletin board, chat rooms, audio & video archives, polls, surveys, and
more.
