Abstract

In the current environment of digital games and immersive role playing systems, we often overlook previous methods of conveying and experiencing narrative based entertainment. We present a fresh perspective on interactive digital storytelling systems based on table-top role playing games. Table-top games offer players the ability to negotiate and determine outcomes of a game with a referee. This cooperative strategy provides opportunities for studying new approaches to AI in Interactive Narrative. Using table-top role playing games as a model, we propose terminology and concepts that arc different from the normally applied traditional literary or dramaturgical perspectives.
