Benefit from two decades of experience in a talk that breaks down strategies for developing an enduring new intellectual property, documenting your brave new world in a way that's simple, palatable, and readable by both your team and partners, and thoughts on what to prepare for making the jump to transmedia properties such as comics, tabletop games, and video.

This is for ayone interested in wrestling with the challenge of bringing a new world into being in a way that can be communicated effectively.
