Announcements N' Stuff

Volume 5 launch date, and learn to write with Game & Word!

Happy weekend, everyone! I’ve got a couple of things to announce, including an update and release schedule for Volume 5!

Actually, let’s start with that, as I’m sure it’s what you probably clicked on this post to hear. Well, I’m happy to announce that Game & Word: Volume 5 will officially launch on Sunday, February 26, 2023.

Yes, it’s a little bit later than I anticipated, for reasons I’ll get into shortly. But the wait will be worth it: I’m charting out some fascinating deep dives, and lining up some phenomenal guests for the podcast!

The main reason for the delay concerns my second announcement: this month, most of my bandwidth¹ will be dedicated to an upcoming storytelling seminar that I’m facilitating on Sunday, February 19, 2023. It’s part of a wider game writing conference hosted by the fine folks at Indie Game Academy, starting today, which includes four informative sessions covering narrative design, world building, character creation, and story structure (that last one’s mine!).

Come check it out, it’s fun and it’s free! Donations are encouraged, but optional. Eventbrite link is below:

Hope to see you there!
