Podcast appearances and mentions of Graham Nelson

A long-form reflection on game design and parser craft theory continues with a discussion of Inform Design Manual 4's version of Graham Nelson's "The Craft of the Adventure." Particular attention is paid to mimesis, challenge, and, as Drew puts it, "cool stuff." Part of a series about Infocom's Trinity. Resources discussed in this episode: Gold Machine: Emily Dickenson and the Wide Middle of Trinity https://golmac.org/narrative-surface-features-of-trinity-part-2/ Top Expert: Let's Make IF Season 2, Episode 1 https://topexpert.blog/2024/07/03/lets-make-if-season-2-episode-1/ DM4 Version of "The Craft of the Adventure" (pdf) https://inform-fiction.org/manual/Chapter8.pdf 50 Years of Text Games https://if50.textories.com/ My own game, Repeat the Ending https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=eueqjtej7bvnfp5a Correction: Photopia was released in 1998.

Drew returns to discuss a foundational work of game design craft, Graham Nelson's The Craft of the Adventure (1995). This is part of a larger, multipart examination of narrative friction in Brian Moriarty's Trinity (1986). Referenced content: Top Expert, Drew's blog about learning Inform 7 (and other things) Jimmy Maher's "The Neo-Classical Interactive Fiction of 1995" Graham Nelson's The Craft of the Adventure (1995 version) Graham Nelson's The Craft of the Adventure (2001, Designer's Manual 4) Drew's "Zork II, Idolatry, and the Legendary Awfulness of Two Puzzles"

This episode is powered by OneSkin and GoExec. At age 24, Graham had achieved incredible financial success. A W2 saying $174,000 for a 24-year-old is a CRAP ton of money! But what if that dollar amount is all for nothing? And what does it mean to live with ACTUAL purpose? This week's session is with Graham Nelson. Graham had incredible early success in his career but found out shortly after that it was an empty pursuit. All the dreams and goals he'd been told he would accomplish with this success drove him to anxiety and depression. In this episode, Graham and I examine what it means to really live with purpose. And what it truly means to TRANSFORM your life from good to extraordinary. If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to the podcast channel so you don't miss a moment!

What is yield farming? Why might this be a game changer in managing your money? In conversation with Julien Bouteloup (Founder of StakeDao) and Graham Nelson (Defi at Sygnum) we look at yield farming in the world of Defi, diving into questions like: 1. How is the yield actually generated? what opportunities exist beyond simple lending pools?  2. People are able to make higher yields using inefficiencies in the market - am i already too late to the game? 3. Does this have the potential to harm to average retail clients? How do retail users coexist with Powerusers & degens?5. With the recently sky-high transaction fees, how can defi go to the masses? Whats the easiest way to get started?Because Sygnum is a bank and some of the information in the podcast relates to financial and investment topics, we want you to understand that we do not create a bank client relationship with you when you listen to the podcast.

November 1st and 2nd, celebrates Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos.  Day of the Dead is a traditional Mexican holiday - when it is believed that the souls of the dead return to visit their living family members.  To honor this holiday, we will wrap up our mini-series on Philmont Ghost stories with Graham Nelson.  Graham has been able to see ghosts since he was a child.  All the same, he still gets goosebumps while recounting his Philmont ghost encounters.  Today he shares two stories - the first occurred at Miranda and the second at French Henry.   Graham also shares his personal story, how he grew up at Philmont as a kid, tagging along each summer with his parents volunteering at the Infirmary.  From backcountry prank wars to nostalgia for community and close summer friendships - this episode is both mysterious and reflection. Philmont Experience2008 - PC Miranda2009 - PC Crooked Creek2010 - PC French HenryNotable Mentions:Bill ForsterJeff Shortridge "Smithy" Evan WithrowMike RittenhouseMark AndersonPaul GrasseGene SchnellRoss RobinsonMike RichardsKentuckyRyan GustafsonRebecca "Boots" Uribe-SenterSlim Uribe-GoertzStephen AlbachSupport the show (https://pod.fan/silveronthesagepodcast)

In this message Ps Andy talks about our response to the presence of God, and encourages us that we can enter into His presence boldly.Communion was brought by Graham Nelson

Recounting the profound, yet tiny moments and details of everyday life in the backcountry, Justin joins us to discuss his time at Philmont Scout Ranch. As a participant and on staff, Justin spent a decade growing and giving in the High Country. Justin shares how he aspired to leadership positions in order to give back and share what he had learned in previous summers. On the tough days, Justin reminds us of the power of spending time with crews, and of the Ranch-wide aim of changing lives. Justin, who has published two photography books related to Philmont - Wild and Untamed and Last Summer at Camp - dives into the phases of the creative process. From the seemingly easy “cotton candy” images such as sunrise or sunset, to the quiet images that tell an unseen story, Justin brings us behind the scenes (the lens rather) of his photo narrative journeys. Leaving us with an encouraging note to “Go make the thing and inspire someone else to do the same,” listeners are reminded to resist silencing the creative abilities that lie within each of us. Thank you Justin for your words, images, and bursts of laughter. Happy trails! Notable mentions:In 2002, Bob Mosher was the Roving Prospector. Then in 2008, Ross Robinson held the position.

This topic came up a few times in the enthusiast groups, and so we decided to tackle the sins committed against mimesis in escape rooms, as discussed in Roger Giner-Sorolla’s essay “Crimes Against Mimesis” which can be found in the IF Theory Reader. We also talk about the “Bill of Player’s Rights” which is discussed in Graham Nelson’s essay The Craft of Adventure.

Episode 10 - April 10, 2016  If you don't know Graham Nelson's harmonica playing, you should. He's performed with everyone from Lonnie Brooks to Gypsy jazz guitar great Alphonso Ponticelli to Donovan (whom he has a long history with being the son of Donovan's longtime road manager). We talk about his music-filled upbringing, his love of Middle-eastern and other ethnic musics, and his penchant for not only customizing harmonicas but making his own flutes.
