Ben Kepner graduated from Chapman with a degree in film production in 2013, and at the time didn\u2019t know that tabletop game design was a viable career path. But six years later, after a few lucky encounters and a lot of hard work, landed a job at Skybound Entertainment as a tabletop game designer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cah ha\u201d moment for me, was when I realized that<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12340 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2018\/06\/KepnerBioShot.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Kepner\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2018\/06\/KepnerBioShot.jpg 869w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2018\/06\/KepnerBioShot-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2018\/06\/KepnerBioShot-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2018\/06\/KepnerBioShot-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> my favorite games tell stories. The best games even have solid act breaks like a screenplay. But unlike a film, this happens intuitively, without a writer to guide the narrative. Chess is a perfect example. The game starts off slow, with both players sizing each other up. The action heats up when players start to trade their pieces in pursuit of the enemy\u2019s king. After the carnage of Act II, Act III is an intimate, high stakes showdown between the surviving pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Board games also have characters in much the same way that films do. In modern games especially, the designers often go to pains to give flavorful details about the characters involved in the action, but like a film, every aspect of game can give nuance to a character. The way a piece moves, or where it starts on the board, gives hints about what type of character the piece represents in the game.\u00a0 At the end of the day it all boils down to \u201chow to tell a compelling story with interesting characters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On June 12<sup>th<\/sup>, I will be launching the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/skyboundgames\/1090301542?ref=515308&amp;token=7f337fde\">Kickstarter<\/a> for my first game, a party card game about pitching movies called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/skyboundgames\/1090301542?ref=515308&amp;token=7f337fde\">Pitchstorm<\/a>.\u201d One of my key goals in designing the game was to take the concept of storytelling and character in tabletop games and make sure that they came through, even in the condensed form of a party game. For example, everyone at the table has a role to play. Players are writers trying to sell their movies, and the judge for the round is an executive with some truly terrible ideas that everyone has to listen to. The judge cards are almost a character in and of itself\u2014all of the executive\u2019s notes are filled with double-speak and coddling to make their terrible ideas seem more reasonable. While testing the game, it was amazing to see how quickly new players lapse into the persona of a movie-executive and start making the pitches terrible for everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>During my time at Chapman, I wasn\u2019t expecting to find a career in tabletop game design. But now that I\u2019ve stumbled on to one, I\u2019m amazed at just how useful the storytelling skills we hone at Dodge have been.
