Come see us at PAX South!

Posted on January 7, 2017 Written by wheelwork

We’re excited to announce that we will be at PAX South this year for the second year in a row!

We loved going last year.  PAX South is a little smaller than PAX West (formerly PAX Prime), which gives it a much more intimate vibe, and the people in San Antonio were very friendly and welcoming.  Last year we had a fantastic audience and fantastic enforcers who stayed over 45 minutes after our panel was scheduled to end to have an extended Q/A.

(Said fantastic audience)

PAX Bound Yet Again!

Posted on August 16, 2016 Written by wheelwork

One year ago we presented at PAX West (then called PAX Prime) for the first time.  We were so excited to be sharing about our social skills groups at a convention we had been attending as fans for so many years.  In January, we presented at PAX South in San Antonio, Texas.

We recorded it, if you haven’t seen it!

We are so excited to announce that we’ll be back to PAX West again this year!

Why Tabletop Role-Playing Games? Part 3: Creative Problem Solving

Posted on July 28, 2016 Written by wheelwork

It’s been a crazy last few weeks over here at Wheelhouse Workshop!  We doubled the number of groups we are running, and opened an office space to run our groups in South Seattle.  Needless to say, we’ve been very busy, but without further ado, here’s our blog for the week!

In case you missed the earlier posts in the WTRPG series, check them out:

What exactly is a tabletop role-playing game, anyway?
Why Tabletop Role-Playing Games? Part 1: Perspective Taking
Why Tabletop Role-Playing Games? Part 1.5: Theory of Mind
Why Tabletop Role-Playing Games? Part 2: Frustration Tolerance

In this week’s post, we’ll be continuing the discussion of why we use tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons in our social skills groups for teens.   In this post, we’ll share how tabletop role-playing games inherently help players develop creative problem-solving skills, why creative problem solving is an important life skill, and how we use games intentionally to help our clients become more comfortable thinking outside the box. ​​​​
