In August I attended my first GenCon in Indianapolis, IN. While I’ve been a gamer since high school (in every form, tabletop, board games, video games) I only recently started game design and only recently started exploring gaming as an education and cultural tool. Gaming is becoming widely more recognized as a good modern tool for all kinds of concepts, but most of all, for socialization. Recently our local library hosted a D&D session for kids, GenCon has trade days that focuses strongly on librarians and educators, and my own high school, which my daughter Brosia Lee now attends, has an after school D&D club.
So in that spirit I’m going to start integrating gaming content to the blog. An index will appear soon, and I’ll be adding game reviews to our content.
