In this episode of College Journeys, journalist Joss Fong sits down with legendary game master and storyteller Aabria Iyengar. Before becoming a fan-favorite in the tabletop RPG world, Aabria was: a highly recruited student athlete, a pre-med hopeful, a poli-sci nerd, a track and field thrower, a stand up comic, a long-form improv performer, and eventually, a highly esteemed gamemaster in the actual play world. Aabria shares how skills from sports shaped the way she tells stories—and how she found a new kind of team sport in collaborative storytelling.
