Utopia on the Tabletop

There is a renaissance going on in tabletop roleplaying, and it is richly resonant with utopian themes: from solarpunk settings inspiring empathy, cooperation, and visions of ecological harmony, to blasted dystopian wastelands which tear up civilisation as we know it, while provoking questions of how we might rebuild if we could start from scratch.

Utopia on the Tabletop is for anyone inspired by the power of storytelling, captivated by how serious play might tackle real-world issues, or intrigued by the impact the little systems of games might make on the big systems that define our world today. Immerse yourself in this visionary collection of scholarship, conversations and games, and invite utopia to sprout from your tabletop.
