Playing and Designing at the Intersections: Creating Good Allyship Recorded at Metatopia 2015 Presented by Kat Jones, Krista White, Elsa S. Henry & K.N. Granger. This roundtable will focus on how to design and run games from an intersectional feminist standpoint. We will discuss different ways a game can be intersectional including: mechanics, characters, artwork, and more. Drawing on concrete examples from panelists about their own design process, as well as games that have influenced them, we will offer suggestions for designing intersectional games. We will also give some examples of how to make pre-existing games and systems more intersectional. Topics included in the discussion will be: how to fail forward, how to be a good ally, and how to respectfully write about marginalized groups when coming from a position of privilege You can subscribe to us here!  RSS Feed iTunes   Episode 109: Designing Intersectionally [ 46:02 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (786)

Sanity Points Recorded at Metatopia 2015 Presented by Elsa S. Henry, Will Hindmarch, Kelly Osborne & Craig Page. The worst thing that can happen to you in a horror game is either that you die, or that you lose your mind. In games that focus on a world “gone mad”, how do we support real people living with mental illness through our game development? This panel will focus on revisiting systems like sanity points, and discuss how to address breaks with reality and surviving the very worst that horror has to throw at the world without treating mental illness as a comedic happenstance, or as something to be dismissed.
