*Updated* Flights of Foundry

What a naughty scatterbrain I am! In between dealing with some health issues over the last few weeks, I completely forgot to let you know where you could find me at Flights of Foundry. My first ever US convention, too!

For some reason, I’m down under three separate profiles, so who knows what’s happened there. However, here are the two items you can find me on – and with line-ups like these, you’d really be doing yourself a favour by tuning in.

Queering Games, Saturday 17:00 UTC
https://sched.co/iENx
Dave Ring [M], Orion D Black, Dominique Dickey Sharang Biswas, Bendi Barrett (thank you to Bendi and Sharang for joining us last minute!) and me talk about queerness and queering video games and TTRPGs.

Branching Into Multiple Media, Sunday 19:00 UTC
https://sched.co/iEIu
Brandon O’Brien, Claire Rousseau, RJ Theodore [M], Michael Underwood and me explore ways to be creative across multiple media and forms.

Hope to see you at one or both!

Edit [6th December 2021]: You can now watch the ‘Branching Into Multiple Media’ panel on the Dream Foundry YouTube page – or the link below.

Happy New Year, folx! While I’ve been busy with a range of projects behind the scenes, here’s some news I can finally reveal. Specifically, we’re talking about the Tinderbox PlayAway Games Festival — and where you can find me on 25th February.

You already may be familiar with the Tinderbox Collective and their work in opening up the creative arts to young people. This time they’re hosting a two week online festival over 22nd February to explore different aspects of Gaming, from music and education to design and technology. On Thursday 25th February, the University of Glasgow’s Games and Gaming Lab is hosting a special day on Games Research, not just showcasing the kind of research you can do in Gaming, but where that research can take you. That’s where I come in.
