Seminars

RPGs and Fiction Writing: Two Great Tastes

Fri 8-10 AM

Ed Greenwood with Steven Brust, Mike Mearls

How does the author of an RPG create interactive content from an established fiction setting? How does a fiction author create an engaging narrative from an interactive RPG campaign? We sit down and talk with Steven Brust, author of the Vlad Taltos and Khaavren novels; and Ed Greenwood, Elminster of the Forgotten Realms and author of numerous novels in that setting; and Mike Mearls, Senior Manager for the Research and Design team at Wizards of the Coast. We'll dive into topics ranging from idea inspirations to writing techniques, but our focus will be on that transition: Moving from interactive to non-interactive and back again.

Dungeons & Dragons

Fri 10 AM – Noon

Wizards of the Coast featuring Chris Perkins with Jeremy Crawford, Mike Mearls

Join Chris Perkins, principal story designer for Dungeons & Dragons, Jeremy Crawford, co-designer and Managing Editor of Dungeons & Dragons and Mike Mearls, the senior manager and lead designer for Dungeons & Dragons for a question and answer session about Dungeons and & Dragons, past and present, as well as past and present D&D story campaigns, including Tyranny of Dragons, Elemental Evil, Rage of Demons, and Curse of Strahd.
