World Building for Game Masters, Game Designers, and Authors
Summary:
Join veteran GM, Dr. Rich Staats, as he describes world design for game masters, game designers, and authors. This classic seminar started as a for-credit course at MIT.
World's Largest RPGs is bringing back the World's Largest Dungeon and more! Come find out about this epic project and what other releases we have in store.
Leave behind the storied coastline of the Forgotten Realms, the war-torn galaxy far far away, and the neon drenched streets of Night City. Instead, join us as we discuss how you can make places like Pecatonica Illinois, Maple Falls Washington and Atlantic City New Jersey feel just as epic and important to your players. There can be a surprising amount of logistics, research, and lore to develop even when your story takes place in a very familiar world. Our panelists will share stories about the real world places they've turned into the backdrop for their players' adventures, and discuss their process for adapting real world locations for tabletop play.
This all new 4-hour workshop will cover the essentials of worldbuilding, including geography, cultures, technology, and history, through interactive exercises and collaborative projects
