Hail and well met adventurer! This mini-episode deviates from our Camp Dragon Online Actual Play and instead spends roughly an hour focusing on everything from mechanics and nitty-gritty game design to storytelling and character embodiment. Hang out and listen to us be a little goofy! We'd also love to hear your own take on the topic via the Sending Scroll or comment on our social media (on the relevant post of course).

Today's topic: A discussion of Rasa Theory & Kishōtenketsu and how they can influence story building and narrative structure in either opposition to or complementing the Western canon of the hero's journey, etc.

We referenced a paper by Professor David Buchta during our discussion
