Gilda dei Narratori promotes role-playing games as social tools
Giorgio Rusconi has highlighted the evolving landscape of role-playing games through the work of the Gilda dei Narratori. Speaking on Radio Materia, Rusconi described how the association uses these games in Cislago to foster social interaction and bridge generational gaps, providing a screen-free environment for young people.
The role-playing community has seen a resurgence, a trend Rusconi notes was paradoxically aided by the pandemic. While older iterations of the hobby often focused heavily on technical rules, contemporary gaming has shifted toward collective storytelling. In this modern approach, the narrator acts less as a strict referee and more as a participant in a shared narrative created by the players' choices and the unpredictability of dice rolls.
While Dungeons & Dragons remains a primary entry point, the current market offers a vast array of systems and settings, ranging from traditional fantasy and sci-fi to more unconventional themes like Venezuelan telenovelas.
