I had another great GDC this year. I enjoyed working as festival crew/conference associate. As for live stuff I loved the serious games round table, and the sustainability and accessibility workshops in particular.

The blue shirted festival crew of the gdc arranged as a Pac-Man ghost

A person with short dark hair in a blue festival crew shirt seated and talking enthusiastically

Two people posed dramatically in front of the gdc festival of gaming info desk holding a sign that says “what is BRG?” And a puppet of a rabbit combing out of a hat respectively

thewizardofthewoods.itch.io/dragonstearm... Made this little main menu screen for the main menu jam on this weekend.

Mockup of a main menu for a game called "Dragon's Tears"
text on the left reads "New Game" "Continue" "Settings" and "Quit"
Graphics are neon and pastels with mideval-esque script

Running a dnd 5e game with 4 players who have all dm-ed multiple games puts you in a situation where unless a fight is balanced to be at least 3x the deadly encounter level the team can beat any 1-6 monster encounter in roughly 1 turn

The most powerful narrative device a game can deploy is "throw you back to the main menu but it's different"

What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

A reminder for all of us lived experience folks in games accessibility, myself included: A game not being accessible *for you* does not mean it's not accessible. A game that *is* accessible for you might not be accessible to anyone else.

With so much jadedness and toxic gloom pervading the industry, the optimism and camaraderie of GDC was such a necessary antidote. I witnessed so much creativity, passion, persistence, & kindness over the last 5 days. I’m returning home more excited than ever to support that version of the industry.
