Storytelling Workshop: In Media Res, The Weight of History

Every character has a past, but how often does it truly impact play? This workshop explores how to start “in the middle” of a story, weaving backstory into active gameplay in ways that feel organic and mechanically supported. We’ll cover practical tools, optional house rules, and examples from multiple systems to help you turn history into momentum.

Join voice actor, writer, and narrative designer Kevin R. Czarnecki for an immersive workshop focused on building unforgettable worlds and compelling characters. With credits at Onyx Path Publishing, Catalyst Game Labs, and other major RPG studios, Kevin shares professional narrative design techniques used in published games and fiction—along with practical tools you can apply immediately at your table. The workshop concludes with an interactive Q&A session and time to connect.

Hosted with Royal Rogues Academy. Please support Bonus Round Game Cafe by ordering food or drinks during the event! Your $5 reservation fee will be applied towards the purchase of any food or beverage.
