- Abstract:
- Fantasy Spoils: After the Quest is a netprov, a collaborative writing game, inspired by the tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) Dungeons and Dragons, that uses storytelling to travel a quest of emotional recovery. Fantasy Spoils can be played online or in-person and was featured as an ICIDS experience during the 2020 conference. In this paper, we present Fantasy Spoils as a means of imaginative relief from the trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic through shared improvisational play. In playthroughs that stress collective, creative problem solving, we offer players an opportunity to face and overcome internal, psychological monsters. Keywords: role-playing games, trauma, netprov, storytelling, Dungeons and Dragons, collaborative writing
