abstract = "The TViews Table Role-Playing Game (TTRPG) is
a digital tabletop role-playing game that runs on the
TViews table, bridging the separate worlds of traditional
role-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."
