I’ve just agreed to be this year’s guest of honor at Protospiel, a small convention dedicated purely to novice game designers. It’s scheduled for July 13—15 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, home to my alma mater, the University of Michigan.
If you’re an aspiring game designer–especially for board or card games, although games of all types are welcome–I recommend attending, if only to see what others of your ilk have rattling around in their brains. I’m looking forward to it and hope to see you there!
