Summary
Elliot and Brian are joined by Kendrick Smith, creator of the award-winning actual play Tales Yet Told . We dig into how Kendo has used multiple seasons and TTRPG systems to create “The Sublime”, a shared universe that is built and refined through play. Along the way, we talk about intentional storytelling through actual play, the motivations behind why we make art, and what is next for the Sublime on Tales Yet Told and beyond. Talk of the Table is hosted by Elliot Davis and Brian Flaherty .
