I did this thing at this website. Lists of games to learn from by people who teach professional game design. It will also be a panel at Connections 2023 Wargaming Conference. paxsims.wordpress.com/2023/0…
The MORS Journal of Wargaming is (finally) live. John Curry and I are the co-editors. The Journal covers all aspects of professional gaming, from theory to practice to reports on games. Bi-annual. Submissions welcome! mors.org/Publications/MORS-J…
You can now follow me over at Mast0d0n at [email protected]. Send me a message and I'll be happy to follow you. Hopefully wargaming twitter is migrating somewhere, if not there, let me know where.
We're doing a new GameNation tomorrow. I think Gamer Jeopardy (forum.defcon.org/node/240983) at Connections would be a fine idea. Discuss. But first register here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi… because we are fancy. @morsanalytics
If you are interested in applying for the scholarship please contact the MORS staff. You must be a currently enrolled undergrad or graduate student to qualify.
Thanks to Nathalie Marver-Kwon for being our first scholarship attendee at the MORS Wargaming Certificate Course. And for the great writeup on PAXsims. paxsims.wordpress.com/2022/1…

And now @NianaSavage has gone and designed a challenge coin! xitter.cf/NianaSavage/status/155…
Evil minds wanted, no tech needed...Come wargame with us @defcon @ICS_Village docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Happy that @NianaSavage talked me into doing my game for Defcon. And thankful that I got to work with @NWC_CIPI to get it done! All in all a good game and I leave with lots of thoughts about the intersection of professional games and Defcon! Next year?
Games and various things retweeted
If you are interested in an online #wargaming design course, @morsanalytics will be hosting a course 24-28 of October 2022.

For those looking to get into wargaming or change jobs, PAXSims has posted a series of job openings recently. Scroll to see them. paxsims.wordpress.com/
This Friday at the 1200EDT @morsanalytics MORS-Talk the Great and Magnificent Perla along with me are going to be talking about the wargaming news of the quarter. Shenanigans are almost guaranteed. zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…
Lots of good presentations at Connections. Particularly interested in the DTRA talk on using tac-nukes in games. We should not be afraid that the tactical nuclear transition will derail operational games - but we need to accurately account for effects!
As an apparent TItan I automatically cede Olympus to the upcoming Olympians like @SebastianBae. That way we get to retire and SEB works forever! Also, come listen to Peter and I dissect the wargaming news of the day on GameNation. xitter.cf/SebastianBae/status/15…
Aug 5, 12PM: @edmcgrady & Peter Perla will be discussing #wargaming and design for @morsanalytics GameNation! If you are interested in DoD professional wargaming, this will be an opportunity to two titans who shaped the field.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…
The best professional games are enchantment and witchery, done by people for people, not by algorithms for algorithms. Hence the desire to use AI to play games misses the whole point of professional games. Similar thoughts here: libertiesjournal.com/article…
In addition to running a game on hacking ports at Defcon this year I'm running a @morsanalytics (MORS) short course on how to build professional cyber games. Join me and Paul Vebber to learn about cyber, IO, and gaming. xitter.cf/morsanalytics/status/1…
Register to attend our Gaming Cyber and Information Operations Short Course from 30 August to 1 September taught by @edmcgrady.

I have been skeptical about potential coups, given the rather disorganized nature of everything that happens here, but this is the first plausible path that I've seen. hartmannreport.com/p/the-nig…
