Exploring Love, Fandom, and TTRPGs
Welcome back to the table! Finding Atoria Studios is packed today for a lively discussion on the rise of Romantasy TTRPGs and their growing presence in the gaming market. Have these elements always been hidden in the gems of our roleplaying games—or is there something different about the current moment?
We dive into the stats and mechanics that help romance flourish in games and settings, while also exploring the origins of this wave of RPG-curious readers and the literary inspirations behind it. With blockbuster titles like Fourth Wing drawing attention, many creators are seizing the opportunity to build at the intersection of fandoms.
The community, too, is carving out space for more adult, niche, and experimental settings, with tables embracing narrative-driven gameplay in record numbers. Join Tori, Jess, Malcolm, and Arcadia as we unpack how Romantasy is reshaping both systems and stories in the TTRPG world.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
