Running Off The Rails

Character Plot and Setting | From Creative Writing to D&D


Listen Later

Ray and Ariel learn lessons from creative writing to improve their DMing skills. Brandon Sanderson talks about the importance of character and plot over setting in creative writing. We explore the parallels between a Dungeons and Dragons character/plot/setting structure with a more traditional structure from the world of fiction. We discuss the different ways character and plot are created in a collaborative environment, but also find many similarities that can provide a template for homebrew content.
