WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ROLE-PLAYING GAMES?
* Role-playing games encourage reading skills. Even the most simple of the rule books require an 8th grade reading level to understand them and many require much more than that. In addition, many players go off and research the era in which a game is set, which develops library and research skills. * Role-playing games encourage math skills. Rolling dice, totaling them, adding and modifying factors, subtracting them, multiplying and dividing them by something else are common occurrences in these games. * Most importantly, role-playing games are a social activity. Having a group of friends to rely upon during the tough years of adolescence is invaluable, and role-playing games build friendships that can last a lifetime.
