ARG Slides and Graveyard Games, NYC

Jane McGonigal recently gave a design-track lecture called Alternate Reality Gaming: Experimental Social Structures for MMOs at the Austin Game Conference. “The unofficial title of the talk was “Too weird for GDC.” Also, the culmination of the talk was a lively 100-person game of massively multiplayer thumb wrestling. The slides are now posted here.” [Related]

On Saturday November 5, 2005, Jane’s Graveyard Games will be in New York City so you can meet the living and play with the dead. You’re invited rain or shine to BrooklynÂ’s own Cypress Hills Cemetery to get to know your local dearly departed, pay your respects, and learn Tombstone Hold ‘Em — the secret poker game you can only play in a cemetery.
