An Introduction to Game-Mastering: Telling Stories with Tabletop Role-Playing Games

This full-day workshop introduced participants to some perspectives and techniques of storytelling commonly used by "game-masters", a subset of players of tabletop role-playing games. A talk and presentation was held on the uses of these games as tools for collaborative storytelling. Some practical exercises involving role-playing and world-building were also held at this workshop. There was also some discussion on how game-masters' approaches to storytelling could be applied in the field of computer games.
