    Abstract

    Writing for Role-Playing Games: Narratives, Adventures, and Worldbuilding was a post-graduate class offered in the summer of 2024 by Maynooth University. Students immersed themselves in theory, design, and, most importantly, writing. The diversity of games that students were interested in speaks to the strength of the genre. Indeed, the existence of the class itself is a recognition of the importance and, dare we say, legitimacy of tabletop RPGs as a creative industry. As the works presented here demonstrate, tabletop RPGs offer a unique site to explore fundamental questions about society and human experience.
