I have moved our conversation with Jason Rohrer to this Wednesday, November 30! Jason will be Skyping in from California. He was unable to perform the planned Q&A lecture on December 7, so it has been moved up one week. As a result, the schedule has changed. While there are no readings assigned for Wednesday, you are encouraged to come up with questions for Jason. After all, this is a big opportunity to speak directly with one of the leaders in games as art!
