Narratives in Gaming and Media

In this chapter, speakers explore contrasting narrative styles in literature and film, comparing action-packed stories with character-driven narratives. They reflect on their experiences with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) and discuss the importance of pacing, storytelling, and player expectations in creating engaging sessions. Additionally, the impact of media formats, like e-readers, on their enjoyment and how it parallels gaming dynamics is examined.
