StoryCraft: Transform Your Story with RPG – A Workshop for Creative Storytellers
Unlock the Power of Role-Playing Games to Elevate Your Storytelling
Storytelling has taken many forms throughout history, from oral traditions to written epics. But in the late 1970s, a new form of immersive storytelling began to emerge—Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs). Blending elements of improvisation, fantasy, historical reenactment, and game mechanics, RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) have revolutionized the way we create and experience stories.
Now, it’s your turn to harness the power of RPGs to bring your stories to life.
Join us for StoryCraft: Transform Your Story with RPG, a hands-on storytelling workshop designed to help writers, creatives, and RPG enthusiasts level up their storytelling skills. Whether you’re curious about LitRPG (Literary Role-Playing Games) or just looking for fresh storytelling techniques, this workshop will provide you with new tools, strategies, and inspiration.
Led by Kenda Willie, this session is perfect for anyone eager to push their storytelling boundaries in interactive and dynamic ways.

Why RPGs are a Game-Changer for Storytellers

Adapt your story in real-time
Create compelling character-driven conflicts
Design immersive settings that feel alive
📌 Role-Playing for Character Development
Ever struggle with making your characters feel real? Role-playing allows you to step into your character’s shoes, experiencing their decisions, emotions, and conflicts firsthand.
📌 World-Building Like a Game Master
The best RPG campaigns are deeply immersive because they follow strong world-building principles. You’ll learn how to:
Develop intricate settings that feel lived-in
Introduce lore and history in an organic way
Keep your world dynamic and reactive
