Places, People and Pantheons | Portal

Let's get to know your world! This workshop is centered on developing a village, city, or region, the people that live there, the culture they have developed, and who they worship.

We'll use prompts, dice tables, and reference books for inspiration.

Participants will:

• Create a village, city, or region
• Populate it
• Give it a reason to exist
• Dive into culture
• and develop a pantheon of gods

Materials needed: Dice and a notebook (only if you prefer to use your own, otherwise both will be provided).

Anyone under the age of 14 must be attended by a parent or guardian.
