When it comes to Dungeons & Dragons, it’s not just about slaying monsters and looting treasure. The movie Honor Among Thieves shows that it’s also about the relationships between the characters and the moments of levity and friendship they share. This is something that all role-playing games can benefit from, whether it’s a tabletop game or a video game. Having meaningful interactions with NPCs and other players can make the world feel more real and engaging, and can add mechanical benefits as well. It’s a reminder that even in a fantasy world, the characters still mean something to each other.
