I'm at Solmukohta in Tampere! AKA Knutepunkt, the annual Nordic larp conference. Once again I'm blown away by this community's passion, insight, and commitment to its craft. And boy do they know how to throw a party

When it rains it pours. I have a chapter in this wonderful #OA book about how communities are revising their seasons ed. Scott Bremer and Arjan Wardekker. It's about the emerging trend of dark seasonality in videogames: think storms, droughts, floods etc. www.degruyter.com/document/doi...

I wrote a poem about the deep time hubris of the 10.000 year clock. Check it out A mechanical pulse, a throbbing pain And in time, a car park and a gift shop But all this business cannot last Not in this heat. Read full poem here: ecozona.eu/article/view...
