Workshop techniques used before games to create the diegesis or prepare for playing.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

The concept of Workshopping as a gameplay activity originates from Live Action Roleplaying Games of the Nordic tradition. The Ball of Yarn technique[1] lets group of LARP players visually see how the relations between their characters are created as well as pointing out which ones need more relations. Slow take-off[2] is the generic name for various techniques that slowly shift from introducing players to a LARP or letting them create the setting for one to actually playing them.

The Setup phase of the storytelling game Fiasco can be seen as a dedicated Workshopping techniques developed for the game, but which could with minor changed be used for other storytelling or roleplaying games.
