I wrote drafts for a short film called “Band or Album,” co-written with and directed by Ed Linder of Too Much Joy Productions for the Z-Fest Film Festival. It’s a romantic comedy that features — of course — the eponymous game. ¶ I completed the first editing pass on Robin D. Laws’s next book for Gameplaywright, a follow-up to Hamlet’s Hit Points that will be called Beating Your Story.

School Projects | Normally I’m happy to answer questions about game design for students, but as of this writing, I am extremely far behind on nearly all of my prior responsibilities. For the foreseeable future I must prioritize that work, and so am not able to responsibility answer questions about game design at this time. I am very sorry and wish you the best with your project, because game design is a fantastic and rewarding field.
