Role Playing Games

[close] This book club, centered on the "Appendix N" of Gary Gygax's Dungeon Master Guide for Dungeons and Dragons, aims to engage the TTRPG community in exploring the literary roots of the games. "Appendix N" is Gygax's list of recommended reading, diverse fantasy, and science fiction literature that influenced Dungeons & Dragons and countless RPGs. Our goal is to build a community where like-minded individuals share a passion for these genres. Together, members collectively delve into themes, ideas, and storytelling techniques from the recommended books, fostering insightful discussions and a deeper understanding of RPG influences spanning 50 years. Participation in the club inspires creativity and novel ideas for gaming sessions by drawing from the classic works' plots, characters, and settings. Discussions allow us to learn about the history and evolution of fantasy and sci-fi genres, deepening our appreciation for the hobby's cultural significance. The Appendix N's diverse range of authors and genres exposes members to varied writing styles, cultures, and perspectives, enriching our literary horizons for a more immersive gaming experience. Analyzing literature in the context of RPGs sharpens our ability to identify narrative techniques applicable to our gaming endeavors. The book club serves as a motivational tool, encouraging consistent reading habits that foster personal growth and intellectual stimulation. Opportunities for collaboration on RPG projects or campaigns emerge as members share a common literary foundation, leading to creative partnerships and new content development. As members gain a deeper understanding of RPG literary influences, there's a heightened appreciation for nuances and storytelling aspects in the games we play and create. Ultimately, being part of this Appendix N book club is about having fun and enjoying a shared exploration of fantastic worlds through literature and tabletop gaming.

I’m sure you have plenty of questions, all that will be answered in time. It’s been almost a year since the last battle with the help of our Roman camp, and since then demigods from all over have joined us here. There's plenty to do at camp, such as practicing archery or canoeing in the lake. But beware of the woods, as there's no telling what monsters lurk inside. Good luck, young demigod! ~ Chiron, activities director ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ──────── ☾☼ ౨ৎ ☼☽ ──────── group aesthetic credit to aelin and mini.
