Rpg Design Panelcast

Recorded at Metatopia Online 2021 Presented by Richard Ruane, Pam Punzalan, Brian Yaksha, Zedeck Siew.   In METATOPIA 2020's "Devil in the Details" panel, we explored microsettings; settings that focus closely on a specific area, region, or location. This year, we'll discuss how microsettings challenge traditional assumptions about game mechanics, focusing on character creation, magic, technology, and GM procedures. How can the concrete specificity of microsettings open up other design opportunities beyond just the setting details?
