About Us

The Game Designers Workshop is a group of experienced game designers who meet annually to discuss game design issues away from the throngs and madness of the GDC. The date of the Workshop is selected to be approximately half a year away from the GDC.

The focus of the GDW is on games with a story-telling component, and the focus is also on practical as opposed to “blue sky” discussions. The format is similar to roundtables at the GDC, and we divide the weekend up into blocks so that each attendee can lead a session on the topic of his/her choice.
