I didn't even KNOW there was a new De la Soul album. Gotta spread the news.

The class is titled, "Advanced Make Believe and Co-Created Realities: Live Action Roleplaying Studio." Also I may have tap danced off stage.

I was definitely thinking of Tales from Woodcreek, but I could make a good case for a few of CR's live shows and extra content as well.

Thank you! It's not quite done, but sooooooon.

That belt is made from a beautiful black silk from @megueyb.bsky.social. There's a fair amount of her textile gifts being put to use.

I've been thinking a lot about this since talking to you! Workshops sound great and so do simple chats. I realized during our faculty search a lot of folks I'd love to see teach don't even know how to apply or build towards this.

We have some solid videogames departments around the country who are now broadening out thanks to concentrated efforts. But my favorite is Theater departments who are bridging theater and games together. The UC system in California is very much on this path, and where I work.

Ooo. That's a great idea, getting informal interviews. I had been teaching on and off for most of my life, so I just...fell into it immediately. However, I was super grateful to have folks help guide and inspire me.

Excellent, thank you. A simple guide is a great idea. Teaching is a learned skill, and I think the idea that folks are "born" teachers allows us to be underpaid since it's a "calling".

Here's the deal. Ttrpgs and larp are becoming more and more respected in the academy and we'll need a diverse group of teachers to support this. Folks can work at a Triple A with no teaching experience and get jobs. Let me help figure out how to give you a one up on 'em.
