Listen "An interview with Amy Curry"
Episode Synopsis
Play a game about a plague in the middle of a pandemic? Who would want to do that?
Lots of people, it turns out. So I thought we should talk to Amy Curry, the designer of 1349,: The Black Death Comes to Norwich. In our interview, we chat about why Amy decided to write a game about the topic, how the game evolved over time and how it changed when Amy started teaching it on-line.
But Amy is also one of Reacting's resident experts at running asynchronous games. So I asked her for tips and warnings about taking games designed to be played in-person and running them on-line.
Amy had fascinating things to say about both topics. I can't wait to play her game myself. And she made me feel just a bit more at ease about running games on-line in my own classes.
