This week, my class and I had the immense pleasure of chatting with Dr. Tore Olsson about history, video games, and his new book. We also had an in-class discussion about the women's suffrage movement as depicted in the game and in primary sources. Not my primary area of expertise, but so much fun.

The flowchart for a very simple Twine game I developed based on a murder case in Jonathan Spence's The Death of Woman Wang (1978). Over the next week, I will be leading two workshops on Twine for historians.

I'm looking forward to giving this talk at the University of Illinois next month. If you're in central Illinois, come say hello!
