DM Talks Spring 2023: Party Mascot: Experimental Prop Design for Streaming Actual Plays
Primary tabs
Building on a critical review of frame analytical approaches to role-playing game studies and supported by an ethnographic study of actual play performers, the Party Mascot is designed to “flicker” between social, gameplay, and fictional frames of interaction. Taking the form of a talking mechanical raven, the Party Mascot extends audience participation on the Twitch platform from its native chat interface to the physical playspace.
We encourage DM students to attend in person at TSRB 118. The talk will also be streamed for virtual attendees (please join the meeting on the Teams Calendar).
