CIRCLE THEORY

Speaker: Orion D. Black

Circle Theory is a framework developed to help game-designers think about their work. This plain-speech, visual tool can be used to chart out the narrative threads of your favourite media, and help you build your own. The theory purposes that interactions between plot points occur between one of three “circles:” Character, Environment, and Overwhelming Circumstance. Join us on December 9th, to learn more about this system and its creator Orion D. Black.

Orion D. Black, is a non-binary queer writer and director based in Seattle. They currently work with CH Media on the Dimension 20 series. Orion’s previous work includes narrative design for tabletop roleplaying games.
