Short DescriptionExperienced GMs discuss how GM skills can be applied to a career in narrative design and/or gamewriting.
Long DescriptionPlaying RPGs as a GM provides a deep understanding of player agency—foundational to the success of any game (whether it has a story or not)—and gives GMs inventive ways to facilitate that agency. This rich and unique experience develops not just writing and worldbuilding, but also adaptation, the ability to understand character needs, and the appreciation of the important relationship between mechanics and story. Join our panel of experienced GMs as they discuss how these skills can be applied to a career in narrative design and/or writing for games. Panelists: Brandon Crilly (moderator), Alexander Bevier, Richard Dansky, Ed Greenwood. Track: GCWS Game Narrative.
