Writing your own RPG with Laurie O'Connell

Please note: this event will be held online.

Role-playing games have been around forever, but they're exploding in popularity at the moment. They're a really effective storytelling method, and surprisingly, not very hard to write at all!

In this workshop, Laurie O'Connel, writer of Lichcraft, Hieronymus and other RPGSs, will take you through the basics of writing a roleplaying game, with a particular focus on setting and niche.
