Dennet Krishnan, cofundador do estúdio TableMinis, com sede em Singapura, defende que as histórias costumam ser tratadas como um luxo em uma sociedade de ritmo acelerado. Ele explica como livros, narrativas compartilhadas e jogos podem ajudar as pessoas a imaginar além de si mesmas e a compreender mudanças, conflitos e comunidade. Krishnan fala a partir de sua experiência como líder empresarial e Dungeon Master profissional. A palestra foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente por uma comunidade local.

• Por que as histórias são vistas como um luxo
• Como as narrativas moldam a empatia
• O papel do RPG de mesa na construção de conexões

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
