Criatividade nos jogos de RPG de mesa: um estudo sobre processos criativos no jogar de D&D, FATE e Storytelling

Abstract

Tabletop RPG (TTRPG) are collaborative games in which players create a story and role-play their characters. The goal is to investigate how creativity emerges during tabletop rpg gameplay. This research ponders which ways creativity and collaboration emerge from play, as well as if it reaches invention, as conceptualized by Kastrup. It is based on the concepts of creativity (JOHNSON, 2010; REGIS, 2008; FLUSSER, sd.), invention (KASTRUP, 2007), immersion (ERMI; MÄYRÄ, 2011) and participatory culture (JENKINS et al, 2014; SHIRKY, 2011). The methodology is inspired by the cartography method, participant observation and study groups; uses interviews with volunteer players and analyzes the rulebook of the following systems: FATE, Storytelling e Dungeons & Dragons. The results are the conclusion that creativity emerges from the meeting that happens between game, players and the context; and it materializes the cognitive process in the temporary configuration of play. It can function as a tool for affective mapping and TTRPG are cognitive tools and inventive processes.
