Pyrkon is doing a conference for TTRPG designers! We\u2019re putting together a single-day conference for the TTRPG designers community in Pozna\u0144 a day before Pyrkon. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is it, and why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Designer Experience Exchange at Pyrkon (DEEP) is a one-day conference focused on TTRPG design and directed to people working within this field (or aspiring and looking to enter it). Pyrkon is our meeting place for all fantasy & scfi-fi fans, but over the years we noticed that it is rarely allowing our TTRPG guests to meet with each other for more than a quick coffee chat in passing in the Green Room. This is apparently a pretty standard experience for designers at most conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is a great shame that people working daily on designing games for players to weave stories together, having wonderful experiences and stories thanks to those games, don\u2019t have their own place and time to freely meet, discuss, exchange experiences, and find interesting new collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d like to make DEEP such a space where you can do that all among your peers, without this nagging feeling in the back of your mind, \u201cI should probably sell my game right now to those people\u201d. Let\u2019s build together a place and time for the TTRPG designers community to come together and foster growth by exchanging experiences and ideas within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d love to know if you\u2019re interested in attending or participating actively in panels, so please fill out the application form. We\u2019ll contact you as soon as possible to discuss the details of your participation in the panels, or we\u2019ll redirect you to the ticket purchase page. You can only purchase tickets for the event after submitting your application (at the price of 94.99 PLN).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will it work? (When and where)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Designer Experience Exchange at Pyrkon is, as the name suggests, connected to Pyrkon and will take place on a day prior (Thursday, 18th June 2026) to the convention in Pozna\u0144. We\u2019ll meet at S\u0142odownia, 1st floor, Stary Browar, 42 P\u00f3\u0142wiejska Street, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not an open event for people just interested in TTRPG as a hobby. Our focus is on designers, so we expect topics and themes to run deeper than what a regular TTRPG player would find interesting. We\u2019re looking at small, curated attendance..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are interested in this being more of a discussion and actual exchange of ideas and experiences, so rather than simple talks, we\u2019re looking to have ~2h discussion panels where you can see different viewpoints and approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to encourage the exchange of experiences across broader international community, which is why most discussions and presentations will be in English. At the same time, we are not forgetting about our local participants – some sessions will be held in Polish, although they will represent a smaller part of the event agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we\u2019re aiming for 2-3 tracks covering 4-5 topics each, keeping in mind that in this case quality is definitely more important than quantity. To truly foster more collaboration and exchange of experiences, we are also making room in the schedule for an extended lunch break (who doesn\u2019t like interesting discussions over a good meal?) and an evening mixer at the venue to keep talking over drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
