Initiative - Role Playing Games Discussion Group

Initiative was founded by Danny Godin in 2015. The idea was and still is to create a forum bringing together amateurs, practitioners and researchers, in order to exchange and popularize knowledge about tabletop role-playing games.

Initiative's format evolves from year to year. Initially, it was a question of two speakers paired monthly according to different themes. In 2016-17, Initiative is trying a "panel" type format, this time led by 4 regular presenters: Christopher Chancey (ManaVoid Entertainment), Stéphane Daniau (UQAM), Sébastien Savard (UdeM) and of course Danny Godin (UQAT).

For 2018, Initiative is taking a bolder step by setting up the first multidisciplinary study day on tabletop role-playing games, bringing together specialists from 8 different universities in Quebec.

This page is a place to discuss tabletop roleplaying in both a light and rigorous way. The entire French-speaking world is welcome, provided that respect for ideas and people is maintained at all times. We will not tolerate any element likely to generate toxicity (see the rules).
