Tuesday, November 5, 2024 6:00–7:00 PM

Description
Join us for an immersive Worldbuilding and Map-Making Workshop with Prof. Nick LaLone of IGM. He will dive into the history of how maps shape storytelling and gameplay, particularly in the realm of tabletop role-playing games. This session will explore the evolution of map-making from military strategy to modern-day fantasy gaming. The workshop will also explore the origins of map-based outdoor survival games and their influence on early Dungeons & Dragons and the use of maps in D&D campaign settings like Blackmoor and Greyhawk.
