Decision Support Systems Based on Multi-Agent Systems for Tabletop Role-Playing Games: A Systematic Literature Review
Resumo
Os jogos de RPG de mesa (Tabletop Role-Playing Games – TTRPGs) são ambientes colaborativos que exigem tomada de decisão estratégica, gerenciamento de recursos e resolução de conflitos. Contudo, a elevada carga cognitiva envolvida e as limitações dos Sistemas de Suporte à Decisão (SSD) tradicionais na interpretação de dinâmicas humanas dificultam a coordenação eficiente da tomada de decisão. Para investigar possíveis soluções, foi realizada uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura (RSL) sobre a interseção entre RPGs, Sistemas Multiagentes (SMA) e SSD, com o objetivo de identificar abordagens, aplicações e lacunas de pesquisa. Os resultados indicam que agentes inteligentes podem reduzir a carga cognitiva dos participantes, ampliar a exploração de estratégias e apoiar a coordenação de decisões em cenários dinâmicos. Como contribuição, este trabalho fornece subsídios teóricos para o desenvolvimento de arquiteturas de suporte à decisão em jogos colaborativos baseados em narrativa e interpretação de papéis.Referências
