LEARN GAME DESIGN FROM THE PROS
Space-Crime Continuum Hosts Dungeons & Dragons Design Seminar
NORTHAMPTON, MA -- On Sunday, October 12 at 2 p.m., professional game designer Mike Mearls will visit the Space-Crime Continuum bookstore to lead a seminar on designing roleplaying games.
Titled "Under the Hood", the seminar explores the hidden details of the Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game. Mearls will show seminar participants the "rules behind the rules" -- what makes D&D different from other game systems, how spells determine what characters and monsters can do, and how to evaluate new rules that you or other designers have created.
"Mike Mearls is one of the most skilled rules writers in the business," says Space-Crime Continuum owner Chris Aylott, "and we're thrilled that he's going to share some of his secrets with us. Anybody who's curious about how games work can benefit from this seminar."
One of less than 25 full-time freelance writers in the game industry, Mike Mearls has written or contributed to over 50 RPG books in the last 3 years. He has worked with a wide variety of publishers, including Wizards of the Coast, Alderac Entertainment Group, Atlas Games, Fantasy Flight Games, Kenzer and Company, and others. He is also a frequent contributor to Dragon Magazine.
The seminar has an admission fee of $10. Participants can receive two free passes to the seminar by visiting the Space-Crime Continuum and purchasing one of a selection of books written by Mearls, including his most recent books "Empire" (from Alderac Entertainment Group) and "Portals & Planes" (Fantasy Flight Games).
The Space-Crime Continuum is located at 92 King Street, Northampton, MA. For more information, email seminars@spacecrime.com or call 413-584-0994.
