By delving into the worldbuilding side of TTRPG play, we as librarians are able to help our teens explore the basics of SEL, math, storytelling, team-building, leadership development, and natural consequences. From the actual physical process of making maps to the interactions amongst players during gameplay, fantasy worldbuilding presents golden opportunities to share “real world” hands-on life skills in papermaking and geography, as well as maintaining a budget and inventory in play. With TTRPG worldbuilding, we are able to build well-rounded party members and better people, while giving teens a chance to explore, create, and develop worlds of their own.
