Stronger Together: Collaborative Storytelling in TTRPGs

TTRPGs uniquely allow us to tell shared, emergent stories where the GMs world and the players' impact on it converge and take everyone at the table to places they never anticipated, and inviting your players to take part in worldbuilding is an essential part of collaborative storytelling.

Collaborative storytelling in TTRPGs is built on a foundation of trusting everyone at the table not just with their own stories, but with ours as well. How can we as GMs and players help each other claim our agency while simultaneously inviting and encouraging others to share creative control of the story? What happens when conflicting desires of where to take the story arise, and how do we resolve those conflicts? Join the cast of Savage Tales of Eberron as they dig into these questions and explore the sometimes messy but always wonderful ways in which TTRPGs allow us to tell stories together, and how relationships, mechanics, and the whims of the dice work together to create stories that we love to tell.

Savage Tales of Eberron is a weekly actual play podcast using the Savage Worlds ruleset, as well as a blog that houses narrative session recaps, behind-the-scenes looks at how the mechanics of Savage Worlds influenced key story moments, and player- and GM-facing articles for new and experienced players alike. We have been telling stories together since 2020, and look forward to many more tales to come!
