Writing a short story is very different to writing a scenario for a roleplaying game.
This workshop aims to examine the differences and how to embed player agency in your scenarios.
In addition, it will look at how to use historical events, locations, and people to inspire and construct entertaining and engaging plots, along with suggestions on how to get your work published.
Participants are encouraged to bring along their ideas and works in progress for discussion.
Your Workshop Leader
Multi-award-winning games designer Lynne Hardy first discovered roleplaying games at university. Over the last few decades, she has worked for Nightfall Games, Pelgrane Press, Cubicle Seven, Modiphius, and Green Ronin—amongst numerous others—as a writer, editor, or both. She also created her own steampunk pulp adventure game: Cogs, Cakes & Swordsticks. More recently, she formed part of the team responsible for updating Chaosium’s legendary Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign. Her principle duties are currently Line Editor for the ENnie award-winning Rivers of London: the Roleplaying Game and Associate Editor for the Call of Cthulhu RPG. When not creating games, Lynne gives talks and workshops on historical hand embroidery techniques.
