Throw colors on your friends, aiming higher in the sky while you move through this vibrant festival.
Description:
Every spring, celebrants gather to spread color and cheer during one of India’s most vibrant festivals. With your friends, move around the festival grounds throwing colored “gulaal” powder onto each other and the crowd. Aim higher and let your powder fall from above on as many people as you can. For Holi is a time for playful mischief and a little friendly rivalry is just what the festival calls for. Designed by: Julio E. Nazario - Illustrated by Vincent Dutrait.

Honesty In Game Design (or, Crunch Isn't Always Bad)
Summary:
This panel is a deep dive into the role of crunch in RPGs, and how to make crunch engaging for players
Description:
Crunch—that is, complicated mechanics that put a lot of numbers on your character sheet—has gotten a bad reputation among indie gaming spaces. But we think that reputation is unfounded, and that if you focus your game design on the gameplay goals you want—and ONLY on the gameplay goals you want—you can make a crunchy game that’s still streamlined and engaging to play. This panel is a deep dive into the role of crunch (both mechanical and narrative) in RPGs, as well as approaches to make crunch engaging in your games, using popular crunchy games as examples for demonstration.
A panel about Improv GMing and the strength of communicating to your players that you're doing it, and how you can use that honesty and communication to create an overall better story.
