    Your nice hosts Lydia and Ellen are on a seriously playful adventure in beautiful Rochester, New York for the Serious Play conference! They discuss game accessibility, D&D therapy, lexical gaps, validation, and more.

    In addition, Lydia beats the pavement and gets the hot scoop on what attendees learned at the conference and the games that shaped them.

    • Ellen for the cute little lavalier microphones that made interviews possible.
    • Ellen and Nikita for being the best travel buddies ever.

    "There's little guys in my screen." Video Content; Use the Dang Potion!
    Sep 11 2025
    In this episode, Mark and Stephen talk about what they are excited about. Lydia deals with a existential crisis about keeping too much stuff. And nobody talks about the full motion video game that Dale made during a Global Game Jam during the topic on video content, where they talked extensively about FMV games. Don't worry! Dale edited this episode and linked the game in the show notes below. ;)Lydia played some Dutch gamesGeharrewar in de Sushi-bar - Board Game GeekPort Royale - Board Game GeekStephen is very excited about Kirby Air Riders. Is it as good as he anticipated? Past Stephen sure hopes so!Kirby Air Riders Direct 8.19.2025 - Nintendo of America, YouTubeMark went to L.A. for the Blippo+ ExhibitionBlippo+ - SteamPre-order Blippo+ on Switch - NintendoMark's favorite museum: LACMANice Games AllianceNice Games Alliance is the org that supports the local communityBeth Korth was recently on the show in Episode 382 to talk aboutNice Games Alliance WorkshopsWhen the club plugs the Discord, Mark mentions a Discord conversation the podcast's outro in Episode 400"From apocrypha or experience." 400th Episode SpecialVideo ContentBlippo+Telling LiesWikipediaDinosaur Hunter (aka 3D Dino World)WikipediaQuantum BreakWikipediaControlWikipediaWitnessWikipediaDragon's Dogma 2 Steak videoYouTubeAlan Wake 2Global Game JamGlobal Game JamThe FMV (Full Motion Video) game Dale and Beth made for Global Game Jam 2020, Corporate Espionage, is very campy. Enjoy!Use the Dang Potion!The reasons Lydia doesn't use the Potion:1) She might need it (more) later, I don't want to waste it2) Everything could matterAnd more reasons:3) Things are power in a power fantasy game, and it's hard to give up power 4) Potions feel like an assist mode, because you want to be better than that 5) Gambler's funCombatting the natural emotional response for players to keep their stuffMake stuff very abundant, and add use ware (like Zelda Breath of the Wild) Add narrative context that the intention is to sell it for in game money (like in Spirit Farer) Add explicit indicators that an item is required for a quest.Create items that are specific to a single purpose.Discourage gathering more items by making them annoying to collect
