We had a blast representing ourselves at Mesa County Library Comic Con this weekend!

Today is World Mental Health Day, which serves as a reminder that many people struggle, often in silence, due to the stigma around mental health issues and getting help.

At RPL, we believe that it is important to ask for help and we often talk about how rewarding it is to ask when you're struggling. The characters we role play as in Dungeons & Dragons are great at some thing and not so great at others, mirroring real life--asking for help from others is required to be successful in this game.

Does your child have someone in their life they can turn to when they need help? Do they have a friend group, a family member, a mentor, etc. they can rely on when they're stuck? Their relationship with you is important, but they also need to have others in their lives whom they trust.

Check in with your child today. Make sure they're in a good place and have a support network around them who will be there unconditionally.

Today is the first day of classes for the September campaign! RPL is running 3 classes this month--2 in Castle Rock and 1 in Littleton.
We are beyond excited to jump back in and pick up the story for those who have been campaigning since the summer and then start back over from the beginning, laying the foundation for what's yet to come for our new adventurers!
There's still time join our social skills group for September in both Littleton and Castle Rock! Send your child on an epic adventure where they'll not only have fun and make friends, but they'll work on their problem solving skills, empathy, and communication.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day--a day near and dear to our hearts.
Often, those who take their lives feel like they've had enough--they feel isolated and alone with no one to turn to or talk to. It's a heart-breaking thought, but one that happens often.
RPL strives to create a safe space where teens be themselves, practice communicating their feelings, and make friends. Our social skill groups are all about growing and ensuring that no one feels alone.
If you feel like your child could use some friends, join us! If they're struggling with their emotions, or are in a dark place, make sure they're getting professional help--and still join us because friends and therapy are a great combination for success.
Lots of love today to those who have lost someone to su***de, have attempted to take their lives, and/or are in or have been in their dark place and fight daily to keep going.

This is Freya Dema! A tiefling fighter with a lot of confidence, but perhaps not the sharpest tool in the shed.

She tends to look for fights and solve most problems with her giant maul... the best way to solve problems!

She is played by our good friend Coco who actually drew all the character portraits you've seen so far!
