S55E1 - Learning from TTRPGs: Collaborative Storytelling

One of our favorite tools for learning storytelling is through playing tabletop roleplaying games, also known as TTRPGs. Games like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Starfinder, or Call of Cthulhu are all about working together to tell a single story. Each player has their own character with a unique abilities to contribute to the party. The dungeon/game master (DM or GM) sets up the framework and uses the player's choices to help guide them through the plot. And of course, there's the bit of randomness thrown in through the use of dice.  You can learn a lot about how to work together to tell a story through playing TTRPGs. We discuss how in this episode.
