Bravely Fighting Monsters: Exploring the World of TTRPGs

Welcome, weary traveller, to the magical world of TTRPGs! Tabletop role-playing games have experienced a resurgence worldwide for their collaborative storytelling, creative exploration, and limitless possibilities that go beyond the boundaries of traditional gaming. Located in TTDI, board game store Here Be Dragons has made it their mission to create an inclusive environment where enthusiasts and newcomers alike can discover the wide and wonderful world of all things tabletop, with its neverending library of board, card, tabletop, and role-playing games. We speak to founder Sharifah Hanna to explore the intricacies and endless appeal of TTRPGs, how the hobby has exploded locally, drawing in a fast-growing community of all ages and backgrounds, and the store's role in making tabletop gaming accessible for everyone.
