Workshop techniques used before games to create the diegesis or prepare for playing.
This pattern is a still a stub.
Contents
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 Set-up 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.
Using the pattern
Warming-Up Roleplay Exercises are Workshopping techniques that do not create or modify game elements but let players familiarize themselves with the Enactment or Roleplaying of Characters.
Diegetic Aspects
Workshopping often help players create and play Characters so they maintain both Thematic and Diegetic Consistency.
Consequences
Workshopping provides players with Creative Control in the Initial Personalization of Characters. By doing so they not only modify these Characters, but can also take the step to making them Player-Created Characters and thereby letting games have Player Created Game Elements.
