SPPC at Spark Central

6 Sessions - Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6:30 to 9:30 - From 08/13 to 08/29

This 3-week journey into the depths of nerdiness will explore the many ways to bring your tabletop role playing world to life. You’ll explore the mechanics of character creation and practice world building exercises and techniques. Learn about branching and improvisational narratives, map and monster creation, and much more! You’ll walk away with a prototype player’s handbook, a rough guide to your RPG world, and everything you’ll need to know to build an effective, immersive, and fun role playing game! All materials will be provided.

He's been building game-worlds since 1993 and is currently at work on a novel set in one of those worlds. His favorite D&D campaign settings are a toss-up between Dark Sun and Planescape. He's also a big fan of the L5R RPG and 7th Sea. He teaches editing, creative writing, and a seminar on J.R.R. Tolkien at Whitworth University.
