Educational and hobby wargaming, teaching games at a university, policy analysis
@CGHildebrandt Pax Pamir 1st ed got me into historical and wargaming. Prior to it I was playing a lot, but it was nearly solely euros (RPGs and Blood Bowl still before that) and then PaxPam just showed that games can be more.
@petrmojzis Thanks! More time to get back to Žižka now :)
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!
@fredserval I'll try to think of something proper! Right now it's mostly 'why am I the worst charioteer in the family' :D
