Journal of Virtual Reality and Broadcasting, (July 2008)urn:nbn:de:0009-6-14913,, ISSN 1860-2037.Abstract
The TViews Table Role-Playing Game (TTRPG) is a digital tabletop role-playing game that runs on theTViews table, bridging the separate worlds of traditionalrole-playing games with the growing area of massively multiplayer online role-playing games. The TViews table is an interactive tabletop media platform that can track the location of multiple tagged objects in real-time as they are moved around its surface, providing a simultaneous and coincident graphical display. In this paper we present the implementation of the first version of TTRPG, with a content set based on the traditional Dungeons & Dragons rule-set. We also discuss the results of a user study that used TTRPG to explore the possible social context of digital tabletop role-playing games.
