TTRPG Writing Workshop
Twenty Sided Store, 280 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Sunday, November 16
Panel at 1:00pm, Workshop at 2:30pm
RSVP Here
Join us for a two-part interactive creative event produced by Scryptid Games + Twenty Sided.
TTRPG Writing Workshop welcomes both new and experienced game designers to spark new ideas, and do some creative work together! First, take inspiration from a panel discussion and Q&A featuring working story game designers: Nat Mesnard (Scryptid Games), Nell Quinn-Gibney and Ali Mark (Spilled Coffee Creatives) and Lauren Bilanko (Twenty Sided). Next, you'll dive into a generative workshop, playing with a series of dynamic creative prompts that get you writing and designing your own roleplaying games. Feel free to join for just the panel, the workshop, or both — or, stay for the entire event to delve deep into the craft of writing TTRPGs, advance your skills as a designer, and maybe even concept a new game.
Food and drink will be provided, and all attendees are invited to browse the cutting-edge collection of indie TTRPG zines at Twenty Sided.
