Hey, remember this sound? Been hearing it a lot lately as I'm working on a new project.

I'm working on a thing that involves cassette tapes, and the noises are taking me BACK. Click hissssssss, click whiiiiiiiiiiiiir

Thanks for your kind words! Glad it was cathartic--fighting climate despair was one of my goals with this game.

Apply for @OdysseyWorks' Experience Design Certificate program, for creators of all kinds. I'm in it right now, and it's helped me pick up new skills, shake up my process, and work across disciplines. Scholarships available for BIPOC folks! owprograms.com/

Congratulations! Remember, creative workers are workers and our power is in solidarity.

I love modeling consent and allowing the player to have boundaries (including rewarding them for expressing boundaries!) @RaffoulSy had interesting insights about the power of games as healing spaces. #G4C2022

Having now seen the vr documentary about the false alarm of a nuclear attack in Hawaii 2018, I'm excited to hear how its impact is being measured (other than in gallons of tears) #g4c2022

Hey, here's a @StorySynth game I made with a grant from @bigbadcon. They still have grants left for marginalized creators! Get 'em!

This is a picture of me with 13 people I think are really talented. But also OW could use your input on a possible funded incubator project. What kind of support and funding would you need to get a new project off the ground?

Hey game designers (and aspiring designers) Big Bad Con is offering admin/tech support and $300 to 100 marginalized designers to create a game using the StorySynth platform. If you've wanted to give storytelling game design a try, now's your chance! bigbadcon.com/story-synth-mi…

Experience and game folks, this is a great opportunity to get some support & inspiration on a dream project. As part of the 2020 @OdysseyWorks incubator, I can say it was extremely valuable in helping me develop a big project. Applications due soon! odysseyworks.org/incubator

Naming this game a unique, google-able phrase is my proudest achievement. There's also a larping for noobs explanation of the game (plus the game itself) here: margogray.com/are-you-there-…

A hilarious group of folks streamed their session of my virtual live action roleplaying game "Are You There God? It's the Quarterly Earnings Report." Bear with the technical difficulties at the start for a group of celestial beings on a corporate Zoom call twitch.tv/videos/806932909

Hey, my game Voyagers won a Golden Cobra award this weekend. It involves communicating via music and, like all other GC games this year, is pandemic friendly! See them all at goldencobra.org/

Here's a thing I've been working on. It's an hour-long interactive experience you can play anywhere in the world. Even if the only place you can go is your own house.

For those of you missing immersive experiences, Gerrit's list of live action online games is a great way to get started organizing an online game night for you and your quarantined friends.

The set for @nimbustheatre's A Life of Days is pretty much exactly what I imagine all my friends' houses will look like when we run away and live in a commune in the woods. That is the plan, right?

Hey, I wrote a game, it won a thing! Thanks @goldencobra17 team and @mountain_goats for all the judging and wrangling work you did!

Last show of the night. Have a positive message before bedtime! #mnfringe
