Description
Some people play roleplaying-games for the challenge; others play them for the story.<br>
<br>
Award-winning fantasy author and freelance game writer Marie Brennan is unabashedly in the latter camp. In these essays she looks at tabletop and live-action RPGs from a narrative perspective, exploring the ways the framework of a game can generate and support (or undermine) your tale.<br>
<br>
Whether you are a player or a game master, DICE TALES offers insights on every facet of RPG storytelling, including:<br>
<br>
* generating characters with rich narrative potential<br>
* scaling plot as PCs become more powerful<br>
* managing the interaction between rules and roleplay<br>
* campaign planning at different stages<br>
* the social dynamics of collaborative creation<br>
* and more!
