Episode 254 - Science in RPGs and Larps

Recorded at Metatopia 2019

Presented by Mary Georgescu, Sharang Biswas, Brianna Shuttleworth.

Can we get nitty gritty with players and talk about science? Can we as designers build science into our games in fun ways that do not lend themselves to sci- fiction but a truer representation and reflection of our current or past understandings of the way our universe, our earth works? We will be talking about how we designed Starry Messenger, The Moon Stares at Us in Shame, and Magischola with science in mind and their usage and representations of science.
