I was interviewed for an article “Exploring Queer Analog Games” for Rascal, an “independent, reader-supported, worker-owned outlet for journalism about tabletop roleplaying games and the people who make them,” covering the recent Analog Game Studies special issue on queer analog game studies that I edited. The opening paragraph reads:
Analog Game Studies has been one of the premier venues for the academic study of roleplaying games ever since it was founded in 2014. Apart from the open-access journal, they also organize the annual online conference, Generation Analog, whose sharp and insightful talks are available on Youtube. Recently, they published a special issue titled Queer Analog Game Studies, which called for papers asking, “Analog games are here…but are they queer? What’s queer about analog games? What does it mean to queer tabletop, board games, or LARP?”
Thank you to the writers for a great conversation and for featuring AGS and the special issue! Hope to talk analog games again sometime in the future!
