S1E30: Storytelling

Characters & Class

This is Characters & Class, a podcast where two writers roll up Dungeons & Dragons characters from scratch without prior planning. John Owen returns to talk with us about Storytelling at the table. You can catch John and Matt at the Salem Lit Festival to continue this conversation at 9:00 a.m. on Sept 10th, 2022 for “A Grand Adventure: Taking your Tabletop RPG Story to the Written Page.” In this workshop, we will help you build a toolbox to get started with writing fiction. Drawing on the presenters’ decades of experience in story-based gaming, you will come away with prompts and processes drawn from tabletop role-playing games to help you escape the tyranny of the blank page, avoid perfectionism, and get past roadblocks that prevent you from writing. Audience participation (and cosplay) strongly encouraged. For more information or to register head to https://salemlitfest.org/2022-schedule-panels/ Matthew Phillion is a writer, actor, and seasoned Dungeon Master. Colin Carlton is a writer and voice actor with an improv background. The characters we create in this episode are free to use in your own tabletop RPGs, however, we do claim rights on the intellectual property related to the characters themselves in relation to anything other than a for-fun game. The character sheets are available for free online at our website and social media profiles. www.charactersandclass.com @cnclasspodcast For more on the hosts please visit: matthewphillion.com and colincarlton.com
