Good morning, readers: Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. But, last night the city endured its first air raid in 12 days. As Ukrainians deal with the 493rd day of war, some turn to escapism in the form of tabletop role-playing games. http://counteroffensive.news
Tasha Dashkyevich could be forgiven for engaging in a little daydreaming and escapism. Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop roleplaying games are often considered the pastime of nerdy basement-dwellers in suburban homes, not by displaced people seeking a respite from war.
Escapism in a hellscape.
Hell YES.
And I could make long lists of doctors, clergy, engineers, nurses, teachers, lawyers, etc, etc. who play D&D or some other RPG. Without the need of a war zone to “justify” it.
