Description: Playing tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) is a fun and popular hobby.  While there are many different games, drawing on different genres and design philosophies, they all have one thing in common:  Telling stories with friends.  In this class, we will play TTRPGs and use our in-game adventures as inspiration for creative writing.  Along the way, we will learn about elements of storytelling, revision and collaboration.  In the spring semester, students will also have the opportunity to write and run game adventures for their classmates.  The exact games we will play are yet to be determined, depending on student preferences and level of experience.
