Our community has gathered in #Brussels today for the #earmaAIday.

This event will explore the use of #artificalintelligence in #HorizonEU proposals and evaluations. An important discussion to have as the advancement of this technology increases rapidly.

@lskains Damn, hope you're feeling ok after the fall. Squishes will make you feel a bit better at least!

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

@zachwhalen @LesiaTkacz @eliterature @Friedegger I've put the poster in the Discord!

Up bright and early at #ELOItalia with video games and digital literacy

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

First time for me, too! Excited to present our project together

[Lesia Tkacz @LesiaTkacz]

@eliterature My first time - excited!

I'll be presenting a poster with a slice of the results from my #NaNoGenMo generated novel survey study.

@schaefer_tms and I are also presenting a poster about our in-progress creative project WitchAdvisor 🔮, which got started along with @Friedegger

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

Really been looking forward to the #DarkForestsTTRPG event put on by @MGSNwork - indie roleplaying games and environments, what more could you want?

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

Just spending some time this evening listening to interesting #LudoNarraCon talks

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

Really great and super encouraging talk by @CharlyHarbord at #WIGCE21 right now - looking at our value and experiences instead of just thinking about our qualifications.

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

I'm happy that we can play around with Witch Advisor some more. We can now start using it in our Urban Shadows sessions to help us with our worldbuilding while we work on expanding it!

@Friedegger, @schaefer_tms and I are still in the New Moon 🌑 development phase, but aiming for a Full Moon🌕release of Witch Advisor on October 1🦇

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

When you are so obsessed with your weekly roleplaying sessions that you need to collaborate to make an interactive map of Southampton, generating supernatural facts to use in your worldbuilding...
A good way to spend our weekend.

'Witch Advisor' - our first website, 20 years late.
Hacked together with @Friedegger and @schaefer_tms

I think everyone could use a lighthearted/happy story right now so here goes:

At the beginning of the pandemic I went through some painful personal stuff and would often go out at night for long walks because no one was around and I couldn’t sleep anyway. One night I was walking

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

Thanks for a fantastic conference!

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

It's been a great conference day at #ICIDS20 today - so many interesting discussions, excited for the second keynote by @katepullinger now before moving on to more research talks on interactive narrative theory.

[Christian Roth @spieleforscher]

Starting now: @icids keynote by Ian Livingstone @ian_livingstone 'Life is a Game'. Fans of The Games Workshop, Fighting Fantasy, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer are probably in awe already! #icids20 #dungeonsanddragons

[Dr. Samantha Schäfer @drsamschaefer]

Such a great session on Interactive Narrative Theory at #ICIDS20 today - will need to dig more into all those interesting papers. Great thoughts on agency and the player's own interpretation of events. Looking forward to the first keynote by @ian_livingstone in a bit!
