Join us for Profs and Pints Baltimore's latest edition, where we dive into the intriguing world of "Role-Playing Games and Mental Health" with the ever-knowledgeable William Nation. He's not just your average adjunct professor of psychology at Texas Woman's University; he's also a staff psychologist at Johns Hopkins University. Who would have thought that rollin' dice and slaying dragons could actually be good for your mental well-being? Once deemed the hobby of basement dwellers and nerds, role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons have exploded onto the scene, making appearances in everything from blockbuster films to corporate retreats.

But it gets even better: these games aren't just entertaining; they're proving to be beneficial for mental health in real, measurable ways. Come hang out with William as he unpacks the fascinating journey of role-playing games from obscure pastimes to essential tools for mental-health professionals. He'll share his years of experience using tabletop games as therapeutic activities and teach us how to wield our dice for good. Tickets are a cool $13.50 (plus a sprinkle of sales tax and processing fees) if you get them in advance. If you decide to wait until the day of, be prepared to shell out $17—or $15 if you can flash a student ID. So grab your crew and head to the Guilford Hall Brewery on March 26 at 6:00 pm.
