It's June 20-22. It's a hybrid event, physically at Drexel University in Philadelphia. (I'll be attending online.)

Browsing the #NarraScope schedule; I was *not* expecting the worlds of #NoMoreJockeys and #InteractiveFiction to collide there.

Safely back home after a wonderful #NarraScope, meetings, and an incredible #NBPy! Was lovely to be surrounded by friends and people interested in what we’re up to. But it’s amazing to be home!

NarraScope’s financial report is up: https://narrascope.org/images/NarraScope-2024-Finance.pdf

Also, if you’re interested, a year-by-year summary of the conference finances: https://narrascope.org/images/NarraScope-History-Finance.pdf

(Remember that 2020 and 2022 were all-online, and we skipped 2021.)

#NarraScope #InteractiveFiction #IFTF

Honestly, thank you for running events that have a #COVID19 safety policy, which means I can worry slightly less about getting sick via doing one of my favourite things: attending events to shitpost on social media. #NBPy #Narrascope

#FlashbackFriday Last weekend was #NarraScope, my favorite conference for interactive narrative designers and fans bar none. Here's my keynote from 2022, "5 Lessons From 50 Years of Text Games." https://buff.ly/3XxMV5v

When we opened NarraScope registration this year, we included the question: “What upcoming narrative/adventure/IF game are you looking forward to? (Or looking forward to releasing!)”

The answers are now collected here:

This is just for fun, so enjoy.

*All the Storyspaces*

One of the many cool things I learned at #narrascope (not even in a talk but rather in the kind of accidental side conversation at a bar that makes conference-going worthwhile) is Colin Post’s project to acquire and read *every one* of the dozens of hypertext novels published by Eastgate in the 80s and 90s—works that are totally inaccessible on modern operating systems.

#narrascope was great. I particularly enjoyed autumn chen's talk on automated testing. can't wait for the videos to go up so I can watch the ones I couldn't attend

but now I'm beat, and I just watched on discord!

I had a phenomenal time at #NarraScope in Rochester this year. My only lament is that I couldn't meet every single person there, because they were all amazing humans. ❤️
