Gamers out there (particularly with a historical bent!), can you help me find video games that feature the Tudors? I’ve been searching and coming up with very little!

As part of this, I looked into two very different experiences, the insightful 'Accessing Anna' by @writingmedieval and the audio tour/sound experience 'Doing Time: Alcatraz Cellhouse Tour' https://t.co/ofi04daAgY

Hey everyone at @SeriousPlayConf, I hear there might be some photos and videos of @Museumninja and myself playing Shaw Dungeons and Dragons! I’d love to have a copy of those so please DM me if you have them! 😍

I had the huge pleasure of speaking this morning at the 2024 Serious Play conference (@SeriousPlayConf)! Being able to discuss playful historical pedagogy with other game creators and instructors is such a joy!

And I’m really looking forward to reading your book when it comes out! Thank you for including my work! 😊

[Mariana Lopez @Mariana_J_Lopez]

I would also like to highlight Ariana's (@writingmedieval) work on the piece 'Accessing Anna'. A great example of tackling with sensitive historical topics through sound. I have included an analysis of this great piece in my forthcoming book https://t.co/JZcvQgchIu

[Ariana Ellis 💀 @writingmedieval]

Apologies for the delay, but I’m so glad you enjoyed the presentation! 😊

[Mariana Lopez @Mariana_J_Lopez]

Great presentation by @writingmedieval on using Twine to create a game on the Black Death for use in the classroom.

Polishing tomorrow's #IMC2024 presentation as part of the @MidAgesModGames strand tomorrow. I'll be presenting on the richness of the sonic world presented in Pentiment by the reconsideration of the voice as non-sounding.
