A Year in Review, Sorta
Alright. I should update this blog more frequently. In the last year, I’ve moved countries, and changed jobs twice. I have bought myself an expensive apartment, and I have found out just how dangerous it is to live too close to one’s favourite bar.
But actually, the reason I haven’t really posted about anything role-playing related (or anything at all, actually) isn’t because I have been too busy to stay on the scene. It is because I have been to busy with the scene, when I haven’t been writing papers for work. A recap is in order:
I’ve attended no less than five different role-playing conventions this spring (Prolog, Odraz, Fastaval, Knutpunkt, InterNosCon), ran my own game (Previous Occupants, with Frederik Berg Østergaard), as well as other people’s games (e.g., Fredrik Axelzon’s The Journey and Anna Westerling’s Growing up), held role-playing lectures on cons (Prolog and Odraz), as well as at IT University Copenhagen (70 min video here). The organisers of InterNosCon were kind enough to invite me as an guest of honour and fly me to Italy (see the 15 min video here), and jeepen received an honourary award at Fastaval for its influence and international outreach.
One of my favourite events this year has been the jeep panel,
“Running, Playing and Writing Jeepform games” at Knutpunkt, where
we had no fewer than 11 jeepers in the panel, sharing our various
views on different role-playing subjects. Some of us learned a lot
from just listening to ourselves! 
My only regret about it is
being unable to get Martin to participate, mostly because I didn’t
have the time to find him, and both our cell phones not working.
My Last Year in Videos
If you want to see my weird video (it has caused me to be called evil several times now) from Italy and InterNosCon, here is it:
If you want to see me and Frederik brainstorm games with some of the Slovak brain trust, you can too:
If you want to hear me talk about abusive game design for a little over an hour, then that’s possible as well:
Soon enough, you’ll be able to see me and Ron Edwards in a panel debate for two hours or more, but I doubt it has a good enough bang-for-buck ratio (and it is simultaneously translated into Italian, which might be a show-stopper for some).
