The D20 and Communal Storytelling in TTRPGs

This week, Holly brings a D20 to the podcast, a 20 sided dice that has become a token symbol of table top role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. We talk about the need for adult play - not that kind of adult play - and the way TTRPG players play with the boundaries of belief, and the creative and interactive way stories are crafted.An image of a D20Reading ListGizmodo article about DnD's open gaming licenseGizmodo article about fan response to the license changePolygon article about the u-turn on the licenseJane McGonigal's article "A Real Little Game: The Performance of Belief in Pervasive PlayOur SocialsVivian's instagramHolly's instagramThe Pod's instagramMusic for this episode was Nowhere Land by Kevin MacLead Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0This episode was produced by Vivian Asimos and Holly Swinyard Hosted on Acast.
