https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeXvHKXbn0EnJ5rXN9UICsiyynvdAZOHW3AIhVItFEjajUkMA/viewform?usp=publish-editor On Wednesday, March 18th at 7:00 PM EST, we'll be running a collaborative world-building session for anyone interested! Learn how to kick off a proactive, emergent game by participating in the process, and set up the campaign for our West Marches game in the months to come. You can learn more about the upcoming campaign here, and you can RSVP for the collaborative event with the link at the top of this post. There's no player limit for this meeting, so no need to worry about if there's room. For those who can't make it, don't worry! We'll be putting up polls and bits of the process here this week, so you'll still be able to leave your mark on the setting before the game starts. Check in the Live Events channel each day, as we'll be covering the setting, factions, NPCs, and more. Please note that this will be recorded and posted in our classroom tab (and nowhere else!) as an example of the Session -1 process. If you're uncomfortable with this, you're still welcome to join us with your camera and/or mic off, via the chat in the event, and in the surveys we'll run this week. Also feel free to reach out to us if you'd like us to edit the video before uploading it. Can't wait to see you all there!

Featuring @Mark Petersen and @Eric Person . Thanks also to @Jay Underwood for coming out and riffing with us. Good to see everyone! See you at the next one!
