Come with nothing - leave with a world! Whether you've been at this for a while, are just getting started, or have never built a world, this workshop will take you from concept to world in 2 hours!
Participants will embark on a world building journey like no other, completing a step by step guide to a unique method of worldbuilding. Designed for both experienced GMs and folks who have never run a game before, this workshop breaks down fundamentals of worldbuilding specific to the TTRPG genre. While building, participants will have a chance to ask questions and get advice from an experienced GM and Worldbuilder with over a decade of experience creating unique worlds for games. Participants will leave with a completed world outline, and tons of ideas for your next, or maybe first campaign! All materials needed will be provided!

Don't you hate it when you sit down for a game & end up teleported to the setting you were supposed to be playing? Discover your stats as you explore Metaland in search of a way home!
No preparation required. If you don't have dice, that's not an issue. You'll sit down with a blank character sheet and as you make rolls you'll have to extrapolate your stats, skills, feats, etc. You will get clues, like your equipment list, as to your class. Also, you will be playing you, so all out of game knowledge is welcome and encouraged: if you know it, your character knows it!
