Dramaturgy in Actual Play (w/ Connie Chang & Sea Thomas)

from Talk of the Table · host Many Sided Media

Elliot and Brian are joined by Connie Chang and Sea Thomas, the creative duo behind the award winning actual play Transplanar RPG. We dive deep on the use of dramaturgy in actual play: how it weaves the wants and needs of players and GM, how it informs safe artistic storytelling in a noncolonial anti-orientalist multiverse, and how it supports long-term actual play in Transplanar’s The Chaos Protocol.Talk of the Table is hosted by Elliot Davis and Brian Flaherty.Links:Check out The Chaos Protocol Arc 4Transplanar RPGConnie ChangSea ThomasSea RecommendsGodkiller: QISMATRiding a horseConnie Recommends:Playing in the Dark by Toni MorrisonWays of Seeing by John BergerOur Links:Support TotT on PatreonMany Sided NewsletterMany Sided Media DiscordCredits:Edited by Elliot DavisProduced by Many Sided MediaAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
