Educational and hobby wargaming, teaching games at a university, policy analysis
So, today I ran my first #wargame for military and security officers. Sparing the details, discussions were lively, participants involved and interested in further exploring the method. I wouldn't have expected this a year ago, but here we are, and it's getting very exciting.
Three days of #wargaming emergency management with future officers using Ebola in the DRC by Evan D'Alessandro, Kazhdyy Gorod from Tom Mouat, and Earthquake! signed by Tim Price. Games sometimes led to heated exchanges, but that's what you get dealing with simulated emergencies.
I was asked to lead #wargaming activities in a course on emergency management using matrix games. Today, students spent three hours developing a game structure for an emergency situation they themselves defined. Feedback after: "it didn't feel long or drawn-out". I'll take it.
Liz DavidsonI hit a major milestone today with Episode 100 of the Beyond Solitaire podcast! I'm so proud of the pod, and this particular episode is fun because it contains interviews with Volko Ruhnke, Jason Perez, David Thompson, Amabel Holland, Christienne Hinz, Sebastian Bae, and Dan Thurot. Here's to another 100 episodes! https://youtu.be/Fq7DeA29Q64

Petr MojžíšMy visit to Brno turned out to be a very nice playtest session of both of my work-in-progress designs The Bell of Treason and Žižka. How come people usually bring better-looking playtest kits than I have? Thanks, guys!
First games of Charioteer from #gmtgames at 2p. It's quick, it's strategic, it's fun. Flamme Rouge was the go to racing game, but for now Charioteer is likely to take the spot.the emperors so far have been very generous, not inciting the crowd to throw stuff at the racers.
RTokarczukMy experiences this year compel me to return to the idea that I have entertained for some years now.
This "city-state" thing, with the colourful circle.
I have started a blog on BGG, where I will try to write about my ideas and the decisions.

This is the realm of "a game that I would like to play and therefore I am trying to design it". If you would like to join me on this journey, I hope that you will find something interesting.
Fred ServalFor the last 6 weeks we've been play testing some extra cards for RFOP. I wanted to show a couple of them here.
Let's start with "La colonne Vendôme". Built in 1806-10 it was commissioned to celebrate Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz. During the Commune, painter Gustave Courbet argues that the monument is a tribute to chauvinism and warmongering and therefor should be disassembled and preserved in the Hôtel des Invalides.
