PAX Prime 2015 – Please Don’t Punch The DM: Adventures in Gaming Therapy


Games like Minecraft and Dungeons & Dragons are often regarded by pop culture as unsocial wastes of time, but our panel of experts use them therapeutically to improve their clients’ lives. They’ll tell tales of gaming therapy – hosting a dinner party for introverted dwarves and using creepers in the fight against bullying. You’ll ask questions about improving your own gaming experience. Together we’ll learn how the games we love can be more than just games.

Moderator: Zachary Zelinski [Systems Librarian, Twitter]

Panelists: Johnny Spangler [Adjunct Professor, Website], Adam Johns [Executive Director, Website], Adam Davis [Founder, Website]
