Gather your party and test your mettle! Players will bring party of 15 Crystals and use them to create a smaller party of 10 Crystals before each round after pairings are announced. Rounds will be 50 minutes long with 10 minutes between rounds for pairings and set up. Scenarios from each round will come from the Endless: Fantasy Tactics rulebook. This is a relaxed “tournament” that encourages players of all skill to join.
Engaging Quandary: Designing Complex, Meaningful Decisions For Role Play
Summary:
This seminar explores the design of character decisions in role play.
Description:
Join David Simkins, assistant professor of game design and development at Rochester Institute of Technology, for a talk on techniques in role play. Giving players complex, meaningful decisions can increase the sense of player agency, can heighten the tension and drama of a game, and can be used to express deeper themes through role play. This seminar explores the construction of decisions through digital, tabletop, and live-action role play. Using design theory, designed game structures, dramatic techniques, and case examples, we will explore some effective ways of developing meaningful decisions.
