Adding this to the syllabus for the Project Management and Ethical Collaboration for Humanists (aka #DHRPG) class. Love the power of a zine game! #DHmakes

I put a lot of thought into how to model these power dynamics / moves for the #DHRPG. (With an extremely good roll, power could flow in the opposite direction too, e.g. through student newspaper articles!) And yet -- even when offered explicitly -- no player in power has ever chosen to use it. ❤️

Spent a long time catching up with a delightful former student who's found an alt-ac dream job thanks in part to the #DHRPG class. Turned around and wrote a note to a former professor with some updates on interesting things I've been up to. Everyone needs that kind of joy right about now.

Me: No #DHRPG dice until I finish my syllabus. I'm just showing @[email protected] around Games of Berkeley. I will be good. Me 10 minutes later: These obviously are the necessary dice for this class. I will write the syllabus around these dice. Clearly I must take them home.

Sitting down to assemble the syllabus for the 2026 #DHRPG and... wow, in 2024 I didn't mince words about how doing a digital project well was harder than ever due to systemic problems and constraints. And that was back when federal grant programs still existed! 🫠

Pre-ordered with an eye towards my winter digital humanities project management #DHRPG class. 💖

I'm absolutely assigning this in the first couple weeks of next year's #DHRPG class! 😍 Take five minutes to fail at running a DH center by angering different constituent groups. Trust me, it's fun.

Oooohhh... this is fascinating. And gets me thinking about infrastructure for future classes. At least I've got some time. Next year is the #DHRPG class, no code needed for that one.

In the last round of the #DHRPG, a character who was spending a lot of time on Tinder brought credit and consent into useful conversation with one another. It can be awkward, even when everyone means well! Practice talking about it -- including specifics -- really does help you get better.

Well, it didn't take long for my #DHRPG doppelganger dress to go from conference event costume to legit work wear for a consequential meeting. But it is just what the occasion calls for. #DHmakes #DHsewing
