Fantasy Spoils: After the Quest is a netprov, a collaborative writing game, inspired by the tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) Dungeons and Dragons, that uses storytelling to travel a quest of emotional recovery. Fantasy Spoils can be played online or in-person and was featured as an ICIDS experience during the 2020 conference.

In play throughs that stress collective, creative problem solving, we offer players an opportunity to face and overcome internal, psychological monsters.
