The Narrative Science Collective

About The Artists

The Narrative Science Collective is a group of scientists, writers, and artists all of whom have a love for table-top role-playing games (TTRPGS) and their potential as an educational medium. This project aims to develop an educational TTRPG adventure that explores the cascading effects of climate change on ocean ecosystems, coastal communities, and local culture. Through immersive storytelling, players will investigate environmental changes in a seaside town, encountering characters such as scientists and community leaders to uncover the broader impacts of climate disruption. The adventure will be published as a free, downloadable four-page booklet.
