The Art of Gamecrafting: For Your Classroom, Board Room, or Game Night

The Art of Gamecrafting is a six-week synchronous online course where you will learn how to design a role playing game tailored to your situation – at work or at home. You will gain hands on experience in world building and with connecting good game mechanics with what you want your players to take away from your game. In other words, you’ll learn to leverage the power of role-playing games outside game night (and maybe during game night, too)! We hope you’ll join us and Eloy Lasanta, owner Third-Eye Games, for our next course.
