Craft a Story & Data Driven Campaign

5 years ago • 0

Short Session Description: When crafting a campaign from scratch, DMs are inspired directly or indirectly by pieces of other games they’ve played and stories they’ve heard or told. In the same way, narratives told primarily with data can be greatly enriched by drawing inspiration, and the data itself, from different places. In this workshop, players will think of a story they want to tell with data. Using sample data, we will then work through the process of crafting a new dataset from differently shaped and sourced ones. All skill levels welcome, no computers needed.
Session Format & Style: Hands-on workshop
Takeaways:
1. Primary takeaway: how to design a new dataset based on existing data to tell a story
2. Secondary takeaway: understanding the process and implications of repurposing data
Organization: fully-formed
