Roll for NPCs! Learn the basics of how to be a game master (GM) from our TTRPG expert Liz. We will talk about creating characters, monsters, combat, puzzles and safe tables!

No previous TTRPG experience is necessary for this introductory workshop. This workshop will be "system agnostic," meaning that these basic skills can be used for any TTRPG, including popular titles such as Dungeons & Dragons.

If you enjoy this workshop, please join us on Saturday, August 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for CAPE Con, our Comics and Pop Culture Extravaganza!

PRESENTER BIOGRAPHY

"Hi! My name is Liz and I've been playing TTRPGs for almost 10 years, running games for almost 7. I have played and run games in many different systems. Some of my favorites include Cypher, D&D, Monster of the Week, and Zweihander, among many others. In my long running campaign, I play a Druid of the Land who wears a dragon mantle and sometimes talks to one. I believe in safe tables where fun is prioritized and players co-write sessions in collaboration with their GM. Do the unexpected thing and try something new! Fate of the world is in your hands!"
