Your friends gather around the table, character sheets at the ready. You dive into the fantasy: a dark dungeon crawling with enemies, the journey promising wealth or ruin, victory or defeat. Your party forges onward: roll Perception.... roll Stealth.... But not every question can be answered by the dice.

Decisions like when to trust, how to love, and who we are can't be outsourced to a D20. We don't get skill modifiers in real life--and we definitely don't get fireball--but that doesn't mean we can't still find ways to access magic in our day-to-day.

From exploring gender identity with an oath-bound paladin to playing out an in-game romance with your best friend, tabletop gaming paves the way for new relationships and shows us the richness of the worlds we inhabit, both fictional and real.

Within these pages, adventure awaits--but first, it's time to roll for Initiative.
