NOTES
- I'll be running six RPGs for kids (and their grown-ups) at Origins in Columbus Ohio this June. See theescapist.com/ypal for more info.
Great episode!
Thanks for mentioning the On Board Games podcast and playing our promo! I'll have to get one of your promos in our podcast.
ANother one in the bag Bill, keep it up. Oh, thanks for putting my feedback in there! I've now been mentioned on three separate gaming casts: yours, Yog Radio (more than once) and Project:Shadow (which I've been invited to join!)
I think it was in Episode 3 where you said something like, "We need a Narnia RPG." Some time ago, somebody took a stab (a poke, really) at a Narnia True20 setting. Also, Amazon.de has a listing for a German Narnia: Das Rollenspiel.
Also, with regard to LARPing in education, check out Barnard College's "Reacting to the Past" program if you're not aware of it. The program teaches history through LARP-style simulations at over 40 USA colleges and universities. I attended a "Reacting" conference in April and plan to adapt the technique for my own discipline this fall.
Another D&D celebrity/gamer is Lexa Doig who's appeared in a couple of SF shows.
