Join veteran game master, Dr Rich Staats for a session on world building for game designers and writers. Participants will learn about top down, bottom up, and hybrid versions of world building.

This started as a for-credit course at MIT. Participants will learn about top down, bottom up, and hybrid versions of world building. The handouts alone are worth the price of admission. Rich fills the session with fun examples from real world building problems. The seminar is for world builders of all levels of experience and skill. The seminar finishes with a practical exercise where the participants help build a world based on the principals from the seminar.
