In the aftermath of the open gaming night at ALA, Scott Nicholson, Christopher Harris, Brian Mayer, Beth Gallaway, Paul Waelchli and Jenny Levine chatted and shared anecdotes about the evening’s events, which included:
Some questions raised:
- How do you keep people moving between activities?
- What will ALA Open Gaming look like night year?
- What one piece of advice can you give to someone interested in getting involved in this games and gaming movement?
- How do you deal with food in gaming programs?
I covered the winners of the ALA Gaming Citation, which I blogged about a few weeks ago.
