There’s a special sort of alchemy that happens when a group of writers play a TTRPG together that can feed directly into their craft as published authors. How does practising “yes, and” at the table, for example, flex specific creative muscles? How does the safer, relaxed space of an in-character Discord channel offer a chance to experiment with new writing? Why explore character arcs and collaborate on relationships to flesh out the storytelling experience of a campaign? Join our panel of writers as they discuss the specific ways in which collaborative storytelling through their gaming groups has supported their professional craft, and what strategies might be useful for you. Panelists: Anthony W. Eichenlaub (moderator), Jennifer Allaway, Brandon O’Brien, Brandon Crilly, R.R. Virdi. Track: GCWS Multimedia.
