About the Course
A foundational game-design course focusing on the creation of environment-based puzzles common in Role Playing Games, using basic Dungeons and Dragons rules for quick-and-easy experimentation. Students will learn the ins and outs of creating fun and innovative puzzles they can use in their own tabletop games. This class will use a combination of pen-and-paper and digital design with the free online program Roll20.
