A Convention For Game Designers!

Via the NYU Game Center's mailing list:

** PRACTICE IS COMING.
------------------------------------------------------------


** Bigger, better, and chock-full of game design goodness.
------------------------------------------------------------
November 15-17, the NYU Game Center will once again play host to the world's greatest gathering of game design intelligence. Our speakers include videogame veterans like Warren Spector (Thief, Deus Ex) and Soren Johnson (Spore, Civ IV), tabletop gaming greats like Rob Davieu (RISK: Legacy), and indie upstarts like Michael Brough (868-HACK, Glitch Tank). Plus, special surprises like Susanna Liu discussing the design of hip-hop dance battles - and running a dance battle live at the conference!

Where else are you going to get panels where interactive story guru Emily Short and the design leads behind The Walking Dead dissect the construction of narrative choice? Or where designers of League of Legends and Assassin's Creed compare strategies for player behavior analysis?

PRACTICE: Game Design in Detail is an intimate and highly social conference. Like a 3-day cocktail party with the smartest game designers around.

Emily Short! Robert Yang! It's maybe not strictly about LARPs, but I suspect many of the ideas transfer. This sounds like a blast.
