Build Your Own Game (BYOG) is a larpwriting event in the USA. Originally held at Intercon, it is now run annually at NELCO.[1] Games written at BYOG seminars have featured regularly at Intercon and other New England conventions.
The event focuses on writing short theatre-style larps. The participants pitch concepts on the Friday evening, write until late Saturday night, then run the game around noon on Sunday.[2]
Past BYOG facilitators have included Jeff Diewald, Kelly MacDougal, and Jim White.
