Tabletop Collaborative - Cincinnati

Welcome to our first Tabletop Collaborative Event- encouraging game design for both designers and students. We intend this event to be gaming incubator in board game, role-playing, and cross media design.

We have a convention policy that mirrors many larger conventions. The basics are: 1. Drugs are bad 2. Don't steal 3. Don't punch or kick people 4. No cheating 5. Don't harass anyone 6. Don't mess with things that aren't yours

Tabletop Collaborative is an experiment between the University of Cincinnati Game Lab, S.H.E., and Board Again Games podcast. Support from Capstone Games, Catastrophe Games,

Publishers and published game designers will be attending and offering some feedback.

Keynote Speakers Include: Carla Kopp (http://www.weirdgiraffegames.com/carla/wordpress/speaking-writing/)
