An in-depth look at the world of role-playing games, providing a theoretical framework for understanding their more acute psychological and sociological functions. Although mainstream media often dismiss role-playing games as escapist and potentially dangerous, this study argues that role-playing encourages creativity, self-awareness, group cohesion and ""out-of-the-box"" thinking.
