Habla desde su experiencia como líder empresarial y Dungeon Master profesional. La charla se dio en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente por una comunidad local.

• Por qué las historias se ven como un lujo
• Cómo las narrativas moldean la empatía
• El papel del rol de mesa en la conexión social

In a fast-paced society like Singapore, stories are often treated as a luxury rather than a necessity. As life grows busier, many of us lose touch with the books, worlds, and shared narratives that once helped us imagine beyond ourselves. Yet stories do far more than entertain. They shape how we see other people, how we understand our place in the world, and how we make sense of change, conflict, and community. Dennet Krishnan is the co-founder of TableMinis, a Singapore-based studio dedicated to tabletop roleplaying, live storytelling, and immersive community experiences. As both a business leader and professional Dungeon Master, he has built a career around the power of games to bring people together, spark imagination, and create meaningful human connection. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
