The Game Master's Gambit

A teen gamer leaves her old life behind to start college in a new town. Fantasy blends with reality as she weaves tales that help her deal with the stress of new situations, as well as teaching others what it means to play by their own rules. What are you doing this weekend? Droves of people sit in huddled groups. They gorge on junk food, beer and more, just to roll funny shaped dice and howl in the agony and ecstasy of randomized group storytelling. Caro is one such member of the tabletop RPG community, except she’s venturing off to college now. New city, new people, and she suspects her freshman workload will drown her before she can find a new family that loves the game the way she does.
