Oh my God it IS Lupus...

To make up for how Power Rangers is an old Japanese show they filmed additional scenes with Americans for we should do the opposite and make the casts of Law & Order SVU and Grey’s Anatomy stop a couple times an episode to fight people in werewolf costumes

I'm still impressed they get the horses in the pool at all.

It was @rdansky.bsky.social (I think) who said "maybe not a great idea for an all ages conference, talking about a family friendly game"

I don't know who that is.

I'm 99% sure it was you - I had seen you talk at Austin GDC and was very impressed and was asking advice for my first talk...

About Wizard101

that's because @zenofdesign.com once told me to come in just before starting and hand a bottle of whisky and a stack of red solo cups to someone sitting in the back row and tell them to "pass it around."

Bam, Pow or Thwack Your Way Into Comics
Nathan Fréchette, @angrykem.bsky.social @jkrawczyk.bsky.social (m)
How do you turn a novel into a graphic novel, or your slice-of-life idea into a online strip? Should you try to break into comics traditionally or go indie? How to attract comic publishers?

Enticing Gamers: Environmental Storytelling @loukoren.bsky.social @davering.bsky.social & @ayshaufarah.bsky.social
Games use the environment to impart lore, background, & narrative. What entices players to dig into these bits? How are we engaged by these elements? Where does it fail?

The Player-Shaped Hole (@ayshaufarah.bsky.social @geoffgander.bsky.social & Kim McCarthy)
Coined by @rdansky.bsky.social it refers to writing a narrative inclusive of player agency, rather trad novel or script. Must there always be a player-shaped hole? How can this be adapted to other forms?

Rowlf: I finish work, I go home, read a book, have a couple of
Beers, take myself for a walk, and go to bed
Kermit: Nice and simple
Rowlf: Stay away from [women], that's my motto
Kermit: But I can't
Rowlf: Neither can I, that's my trouble
