Tabletop Network 2018 - Ryan Laukat - Designing with a Story Focus

Ryan Laukat shares perspectives and observations about approaching recent game designs with a story and thematic emphasis. The discussion will include details about what works and what doesn't for player engagement, managing complex choice systems, and changes in methods over time.

Tabletop Network is an annual gathering of tabletop game designers, dedicated to honing the craft of game design. Tickets to the 2021 conference will be on sale soon (knock on wood).

Thanks for posting this. It is great to hear his perspective and approach to designing board games which is not very common. Really enjoy the world building while and bigger story while still having interesting and integrated mechanisms. Super stoked for Sleeping Gods to arrive!
