Posted on 2018 January 26 by njwJanuary 26, 2018

Minicon 50, part 3: Build a World!

Posted on 2015 May 9 by njwMay 9, 2015

I’ve been running this quite a bit at recent cons. It’s a lot of fun. We ended up with a world with some pretty weird physics: light moves in discrete packets, sound is faster than light, gravity is bouncy and … Continue reading →
