Imagi-Nations
A cooperative, imagination-first tabletop roleplaying system with trauma-informed care wired into the mechanics themselves.
Built on the SAMHSA framework for trauma-informed practice, Imagi-Nations treats player care as structure rather than a foreword. Ten stats split into six Capability stats — what a character can do — and four Connection stats: Heart, Mind, Hands, and Voice — how a character relates, reflects, repairs, and sets boundaries. Resolve stands as a shield for courage, focus, and identity.
Every stat is a strengthNone is a judgement of the real person behind the character.
Support is never rationedAsking for a hint, more time, or a teammate's help always costs nothing.
Agency is structuralDecline a beat, step back from a scene, and rejoin without penalty.
Defeat is never exclusionA setback redirects the story instead of locking anyone out.
The result is a safe rehearsal space for the very capacities recovery asks for — self-regulation, trust, communication, and the courage to try, fail, and be seen trying. Its strengths-based design makes it unusually suited to supporting players in recovery from addiction and those living with mental-health challenges: where a person feels safe, they can show, and grow, their best.
