@dangergal.bsky.social Dear Lisa, thank the Nine I've found you. I would like to include your model re: the Hero's Journey in my thesis. With your permission, may I also request the appropriate / desired referencing details for your model? I’m knee deep in the wayback machine, with no luck.

A question for ‘independent’ academic authors: How do you fund your article publications? Is it ethical and acceptable to run crowdsourcing campaigns to cover APC-fees etc?
How about Ko-fi pages?

has anyone written about the process of conversational repair in analog games? specifically thinking about stuff like:
- "i move my meeple 5 spaces" "i think it's 6 spaces"
- "oh, last turn i should've given you an extra 3 tokens. do you want them now?"
- "it's too late now, but for next time..."
- "i move my meeple 5 spaces" "i think it's 6 spaces"
- "oh, last turn i should've given you an extra 3 tokens. do you want them now?"
- "it's too late now, but for next time..."

Worldbuilding game: The group decides on a basic technology level (bronze age, iron age, etc), gets a blank map. Each player colours in an area and names the culture that lives there.
Then each player takes a piece of paper, notes their culture at the top, and lists the other culture names.
