    What Purpose do Dice and Chance Serve in our Games?

    The IChing was the earliest divination tool known to mankind. You essentially take 3 coins and flip them to generate a reading. You then consult a text that gives you the meaning. When we don’t understand things, we sometimes seek out the divine for answers. In our table top role playing games, the dice serve as this divine resource for the answers to how we move the story forward. This is a public episode.

    35 - Why do we Role Play?

    We are going to take this conversation further and the goal is to open the discussion around this new genre of storytelling from historical and design perspectives. Games and the storytelling space have merged. Chance operations and collaboration create a new, brilliant space to create fiction. Nathan and Todd open the discussion here and lay the groundwork for a deeper dive as we record future episodes. This is a public episode.
