Does a TTRPG need physical mechanics (dice, cards, etc) to be considered a TTRPG?

When creating games that are accessible to wider audiences, like making them more accessible to young kids, or trying out ideas that we haven’t seen released before, we sometimes push on the definition of what a tabletop RPG actually is.  This post looks at how TTRPGs and games are defined in a technical sense, how they can be defined from a public viewpoint, and what’s important about our creative endeavors.

Interview with Brendan co-owner of Magpie Games

I had the chance to chat with Brendan about his experiences with TTRPGs since he was a kid and about all the wonderful RPGs he’s created and been part of. He shares his XP with us here as we talk about Avatar Legends, Root RPG, Masks: A New Generation, and his personal words of advice and wisdom.
