Going to Bristol tomorrow to speak at University of West England.
I can’t make it to the bigger event in Bristol, Playful Subjects on May 13th/14th.
Also not going to the Board Game Studies colloquium in Oxford April 27th-30th. The latter is one of those things – we video game people do like to pretend that we made up everything about studying games, but there is another older and parallel field of game studies that we should get more in touch with.
David Parlett will be talking about What are the rules of a game and who authorises them? What sorts of rules are there, how can they best be expressed, and how do they get to be changed? A core question, indeed.
How do we enable more cooperation and communication with the non-digital games people?
