Who says adventure is just for the young? In this second episode, the RPG Blokes—Mark, Barry, Jon, and Stephen—are here to prove that role-playing games are tailor-made for us slightly older (and maybe a bit wiser) adventurers. Drawing on their combined century of gaming experience, they’ll show you how RPGs aren’t just “games” but epic tools for hitting those core emotional sweet spots: security, connection, achievement, purpose—you name it.
Ever feel like your daily grind could use a little magic? The Blokes reveal how stepping into the shoes of a character can whisk you away from the stress and into a world that fuels creativity, stokes new friendships, and pretty much lights up your soul. From transforming ho-hum evenings into unforgettable storytelling sessions, to forging bonds you never saw coming, they’ll share why RPGs truly bring people together.
Worried about being shy at the table or not knowing where to start? Relax—the RPG community is a warm, welcoming place where it’s perfectly fine to be a newbie. The Blokes break down how easy it is to get involved and how embracing this hobby can inject fresh purpose and delight into your life, no matter your age.
By the time you’ve listened in, you’ll be ready to grab some dice, find a table, and start weaving stories that matter—both on and off the game board. After all, it’s never too late to start a quest!
