Role-playing Philosophy Bonus: "TTRPGs are a new form of performative art: actors are audience and playwrights, directors are sworn to fate and chance, and the real challenge resides on creating the needed relationships for narrative beauty to emerge." #DnD #TTRPGs #CriticalRole – at Republic of Croatia

Role-play philosophy bonus: "The struggle to improve ourselves beyond the odds of life, to get those numbers to be high enough so we may laugh at the dice. No matter the risk, experience is the real gold. That's what the game is about." #DnD #TTRPGs #dnd5e #Criticalrole – at Republic of Croatia
