Tabletop roleplay is more than a game.

For many kids, teens, and adults, games like Daggerheart and Dungeons & Dragons create a safe space to practice real-life skills: making decisions, solving problems, working with others, managing frustration, building confidence, and recovering when things do not go as planned.

At Dragons Den Counseling, we use the power of story, creativity, and play to help clients explore who they are, face challenges, and grow in a way that feels engaging rather than intimidating.

Because sometimes the best way to build lifelong skills and resilience is to step into an adventure.

We recently wrapped up our final day of games aboard the Event.Cruises D20 Cruise to Bermuda, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. We shared unforgettable adventures, rolled a lot of dice, and created some amazing memories together with an awesome community of players and GMs.

I had the chance to run two very different groups during the trip. One campaign followed a pirate crew searching for a hidden treasure to fulfill their captain’s dying wish. Their journey eventually led them to a mysterious hidden island filled with vast treasures, ancient dangers, and the discovery of a powerful wish orb that could change the fate of the seas.

The second group found themselves trapped aboard a cursed cruise ship. During the day, every cursed passenger believed it was their very first day setting sail. But when night fell, the passengers transformed into horrifying monsters who remembered every terrible event from the last 100 years aboard the ship. The players had to investigate the mystery during the daylight hours and survive the horrors that emerged each night.

If anyone would like more information about the 2027 cruise leaving from Los Angeles next April, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to talk more about the experience and answer any questions.

While we were using D&D as the system, we talked a lot playing daggerheart and I ran our adventures how I would normally run Daggerheart while using the 5.5 system.

I am a professional GM as well as a Certified Therapeutic Game Master and own a private practice where I run exclusively daggerheart therapy groups for neurodivergent kids, teens, and adults!

While we ultimately didn’t run Daggerheart for the main adventures, we got a lot of Daggerheart in while on the cruise! It’s safe to say I have successfully introduced daggerheart to a lot more people! ♥️
