Moderator Kevin Roy (RolePlay GrabBag, TV/film director) leads a discussion with Shaun Leonard (actor, tabletop creator), Kylie Rose (professional GM, editor, Dicescape), Ross Thompson (director of media and events, GAMA: The Tabletop Game Association), Kailey Bray (VP of marketing, Infinite Stories), and Ivan Van Norman (Hunters Entertainment) on how actual-play shows and streaming culture have fueled a surge in narrative-driven tabletop role-playing games, how that shift is influencing modern play styles, and how groups who enjoy tactical, crunch-heavy systems can incorporate stronger storytelling without losing mechanical depth.
