What are tropes, how are they used, and how can we use them effectively as story-telling tools without falling back on the same old cliches?
From science to history to magic, the world is full of source material for writers if you only know where to look. Our panel of writers, game designers and fellow travelers will discuss how they develop their background to make their creative endeavor more realistic.
