You have questions.
Who is in it?
Why it matters.
Designers & Publishers: why mechanics shape behavior and community.
Game Masters & Actual-Play Creators: running safe, fun tables for mixed-experience groups.
Players & Parents: finding friends, confidence, and focus through play.
Educators & Librarians: using games for literacy, SEL, and after-school programs.
Shop Owners & Organizers: building welcoming spaces, from one-shots to league nights.
Belonging
Small tables make big communities. Games give shy kids, busy adults, and newcomers a place to show up and be seen.
Mental Health
Low-stakes storytelling can reduce anxiety, improve communication, and create reliable social routines when life gets loud.
Literacy & Collaboration
Reading, improvising, and problem-solving—together. TTRPGs quietly teach skills classrooms and workplaces need.
Tabletop games are more than rules and dice—they’re shared stories that help people belong. The Good in Games follows designers, game masters, educators, and everyday players from kitchen tables to conventions to show how collaborative play builds confidence, empathy, and community. We look at the hobby’s roots, the messy moments, and the movement toward broader access and inclusion. If you’ve ever rolled a d20 or wondered why this matters so much to so many, this film makes the case with heart, humor, and real people finding their place around the table.
