Join   veteran   game   master,   Dr   Rich   Staats   (Dr   Games)   for   a   session   on   world building   for   game   designers   and   writers.   This   started   as   a   for-credit   course   at MIT.   Participants   will   learn   about   top   down,   bottom   up,   and   hybrid   versions   of world   building.   The   handouts   alone   are   worth   the   price   of   admission.   Rich   fills the   session   with   fun   examples   from   real   world   building   problems.   The   seminar is   for   world   builders   of   all   levels   of   experience   and   skill.   The   seminar   finishes with   a   practical   exercise   where   the   participants   help   build   a   world   based   on the principals from the seminar.
