Listen "Episode 365: Narrative Voice in RPGs"
Episode Synopsis
Recorded at Metatopia 2023
Presented by Jay Dragon and Amanda Valentine
Every game has a voice, from the biggest trad book to an indie zine, and this narrative voice helps a game teach itself and stand on its own. In this round table held by award-winning game designer Jay Dragon we'll talk through a number of examples of games that utilize narrative voice to articulate their game-worlds, and rewrite our own mechanics in ways that emphasize how different perspectives can change the nature of the game on a deep level.
