Apothesis and essay: Trials and tribulations in a land with forces still unknown lurking in the beyond
Abstract
Dungeons and Dragons is a Table Top Role-Playing Game in which players and a Dungeon Master collaborate to create an adventure and a story in a fantasy setting. In Apothesis, players can play through a fantasy world and story of my own creation following an essay describing how fantasy worlds create models of the real one and allow for an overall more immersive experience using Bogost's design of Procedural Rhetoric. This document includes the essay and campaign in one file, and details the basic structures of D&D and campaigns in 5th Edition, as well as NPCs, items, and monster stat blocks for the playable campaign portion.
