Room 629
Whether it's for movies, TV, literature, or games of all kinds, creative people in SF&F have to build their worlds from scratch. Let's see how they do it. We'll start with some categories (tech level, economic system, climate, races, etc.), get ideas about each of them from the audience, select the best ideas in each category, then watch the panelists writhe as they figure out how to make them work together.
Benjamin Rosenbaum, Vylar Kaftan, Rachel Kronick, Victoria Lopez, Carol Townsend
Sunday
