Workshop: Pen-and-Paper Role-Playing

Abstract

Over the last 30 years, a phenomenon of human-to-human interactive storytelling has developed, known as fantasy role-playing games (RPG), beginning with the publishing of the game Dungeons & Dragons in 1974. Since then, a role-playing culture has emerged, incorporating concepts from theatre, board games, history reenactment and storytelling, remixed in an almost post-modern way.
