Already another episode of the podcast! This week we go back to gaming with my first ever live audience recording at the GameCamp Unconference that took place last weekend in London at the South Bank University. I was lucky to have some excellent guests join, such as Ed Fortune who writes for Starburst Magazine, Dave who used to teach video game design and development in Beijing and now started his own independent games studio, George who studies in the Games Culture department of the university and many more. We were 14 by the end of the episode which is pretty good also considering I recorded at 11am shortly after the beginning of the event given there wasn't much going on at that point. We had a fun conversation about geek culture, tabletop roleplaying games, live action role playing games, indie video games, Candy Crush and the ads that get stuck in our heads. I hope you enjoy the conversation, please share it with with you friends on social media if you enjoy listening!

Critique is important for any writer their quest to become better. We are often blind to our own failings in the ways that are not obvious. Even more often we are blind to the things that are awesome in our own work. Having people, especially other writers, who can read our work with an eye toward improving can be the thin red line separating us from being aspiring to taking us to that coveted state of "published". Likewise, giving critique can be very good for your own writing. In this episode, the Mad Writers discuss various methods of critique. They also talk about best practices in giving and receiving critique.Notable NotesMilford Style Workshopping Claire Light's Workshopping guidelines Turkey City Lexicon ABCD method:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgFE2W9qICo Jilly Dreadful's Brainery Cat Rambo's online workshopsRecommended reads Tim's recommendation: The Player of Games (Culture) by Iain M.
