Tabletop RPGs have always been a major part of the games industry, as a source of influence and a companion art form. Much of gaming has been built on the bones of TTRPGs, and they in turn have benefited from proximity to gaming IP such as Baldur’s Gate 3. These days TTRPGs seem to be having a renaissance in popularity, with live play events and lucrative online shows being built around the simple concept of not only playing them, but watching others play them.
How do TTRPGs fit into the modern landscape of gaming, entertainment and technology? How does Dungeons & Dragons bridge the gap between disparate industries? Well, when you have questions about a TTRPG, the best person to ask is a Game Master — in this case, the Game Master and narrator of Sunderfolk, voice actress Anjali Bhimani.
