This presentation introduces the concept of megagames, large boardgame-RPG hybrids that can accommodate from 30-200 players. Megagames have been designed for everything from recreational use with participants taking on the role of nobles in a fantasy setting like Westeros, or generals and diplomats in Napleonic Europe, to more serious uses for government and education purposes. The presentation will includes examples of past megagames to show what they're capable of, and also provide resources for running and designing your own megagames (whether recreationally or for serious purposes).
