Role-Playing Games for Connection and Healing
We are Roll for Success, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the Dayton, Ohio area. We believe that play, imagination, and shared storytelling can transform lives. Using Table-Top Role Playing Games (TTRPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons or Kids on Bikes, we help people foster creativity, build connection, and support personal healing.
In a world that often isolates or wounds people, our mission is simple: provide a safe space for anyone to rebuild trust, confidence, and connection—one story at a time.
Our Vision
We are building something special from the ground up. Whether you are a player, game master, mental health advocate, or simply someone who loves the magic of role-playing games, there is a place for you here.
Through collaborative storytelling and imaginative play, participants experience personal growth, social connection, and emotional resilience. Every game session, no matter how brief, creates opportunities for discovery, problem-solving, and shared joy.
How You Can Help
We rely on the generosity of our community to make this vision a reality. There are several ways to get involved:
Financial Support
While tabletop games are inherently low-cost, running a nonprofit still involves expenses. Your financial contributions help us cover operational costs and provide quality experiences for participants. To donate, visit our Zeffy page:
Volunteer
We have several options for volunteers, but we expect this list to change as we grow. Current opportunities:
- Help manage our Social Media
- DM sessions
- This will be needed sometime in 2026, depending on growth. It will require a background check and training.
- If you are interested, contact us and we will talk about what this looks like
- Promotion – we need people to get the word out! You can follow and talk about us on social media, put up fliers at local event spaces, churches, game shops, etc. See our Media Page for things you can print out.
Materials
We want to give every participant a welcome kit to start their adventure, including:
- A set of dice
- A notebook
- A pen
- A miniature figure
Space
If you are located in the Dayton, Ohio area, we need safe and accessible spaces to host game sessions.
