Calling all adventurers!
You’re invited to a three-month-long quest to celebrate all things tabletop roleplaying games! The Storytelling Collective originated seven years ago as the RPG Writer Workshop and the TTRPG industry continues to change and evolve. There is no better time to explore this interactive, immersive storytelling medium.
For the next three months, enjoy discounts to all of our TTRPG programs and courses. Participate in coworking sessions, creative sprints, and play sessions. We’ve also partnered with some of our favorite industry friends to make a special Adventure Kit with some epic additional discounts to guide your TTRPG creation.
So what are you waiting for? It’s time to bring those epic adventure ideas to life—and we are here to help you do it!
With the Storytelling Collective, you will never have to adventure alone.
