A quick update on our quest!
Wednesday, September 10th, 2025
It has been a crazy start to the Role Player story. Between meetings with potential partners, trying to fundraise, and setting this organization up to succeed, this has truly been an adventure.
The end of summer is a very busy time for a lot of people, so now that things are slowing down for others, we are scheduling more meetings and potential games! With that said, it takes a community. And since the table top role-playing game community is such a tight-knit community, we are open to all kinds of ideas and suggestions. We are young and still gauging what works best and who to work with.
So, if you have someone you think could use our services, drop an email to our Executive Director, Richard Cameron at GM@role-player.org and talk to him about it!
We would love to tell stories with anyone that may need it. If you have a connection somewhere that you think could use our services (all of which we offer for free), then we would LOVE to hear about them and talk to them.
Thank you for keeping up with us, and keep your eyes posted as we have some ideas coming up to better connect with our local communities. And to keep us connected to our local community, we would LOVE to have you join us in some capacity as we figure out what we are doing. So fill out our volunteer form and come join us for an awesome story.
Adventure Awaits!
Every Story Starts Small
Let’s Grow Together
Tuesday, July 29
So, we have interviews lined up with several organizations and are starting to prep to tell adventures in a few places. We will keep the who and where private until we have things cemented a little bit better, but just know that every donation has helped us bring stories to the people that need them most.
So, we are going for another push. We are at 40% of our goal (39% at the time of writing this, but who is counting?). And we are looking for people to bring these games to. We hit he ground running, but word of mouth and leads from the people that care about us will go further than anything.
We are looking into volunteer opportunities for those of you that are interested, but the wheels of progress can be slow. If you are interested in how you may be able to help while we sort through those opportunities, please click the volunteer interest form below.
We are officially underway and our party is ready to fight some goblins and save a few traveling merchants. Adventures need to start small and grow into saving the kingdom. You can’t just start with powerful artifacts and slaying dragons. Sometimes you need to clean a cellar of giant spiders or protect farmers from kobolds that are stealing produce in the night.
So join the party, help us help people, and let’s make the world a little bit better than when we found it!

One Week In
-the Adventure’s Just Getting Started
Saturday, July 19
Thank you.
In our very first week of fundraising, Role Player has received over $1,700 in donations — and more than that, we’ve received encouragement, kindness, and massive generosity.
The support we’ve felt from friends, strangers, players, GMs, and dreamers has been overwhelming in the best way. Every donation, every message, every share has helped us take a real step toward bringing the magic of storytelling to the people who need it most.
We’re already interviewing volunteers who want to help us run games in hospitals, shelters, schools, and even correctional facilities. We’re building a team. We’re building momentum. And it’s all thanks to you.
Our journey has just begun, and we’re so glad you’re here for it. If you haven’t donated yet, or if you’d like to help us spread the word, there’s still plenty of room at the table.

Welcome to Role Player
This is our very first post and the beginning of an exciting journey. While our website is still a work in progress, our commitment to making a meaningful difference is unwavering. We appreciate your patience as we build a beautiful, vibrant space dedicated to creativity, connection, and community.
Role Player is a nonprofit organization harnessing the transformative power of collaborative storytelling through tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs). We believe these games are more than entertainment — they are bridges to connection, sparks for creativity, and catalysts for confidence. Our programs serve players of all ages and backgrounds, with a special focus on reaching underserved and overlooked communities. From libraries and schools to hospitals and shelters, we bring imaginative escape and purposeful play directly to those who need it most.
Why We Exist
In today’s fragmented world, the need for genuine connection and empathy is greater than ever. Role Player creates inclusive spaces where imagination flourishes, fostering essential life skills like communication, teamwork, and resilience. Our work empowers individuals to tell their stories, build confidence, and find belonging in a supportive community.
By reaching into communities often forgotten or isolated—whether children in hospitals, youth in shelters, or others facing adversity—we provide moments of joy, growth, and hope. These shared storytelling experiences don’t just entertain; they heal, inspire, and build lifelong bonds.
At Role Player, every voice matters and every role is vital. We are dedicated to making storytelling accessible to all, because through the power of play, we can transform lives and nurture a more compassionate world.
Ready to Roll?
At Role Player, every adventure starts with a single roll of the dice—and a spark of imagination. Whether you’re a seasoned hero or just discovering the thrill of collaborative storytelling, we’re here to guide you on a journey where creativity knows no limits.
Dive into worlds where you shape the story, forge friendships, and unlock your potential—one quest at a time. Because here, it’s not just about the game, it’s about the people, the laughter, and the magic that happens when we play together.
So grab your dice, gather your party, and let’s create something unforgettable.
