Show Notes
When he was last on the show, Matt Shoemaker was the man who was writing a book on Gen Con. Dreamers, he's done it — he actually wrote the book on Gen Con, and A Gathering of Gamers is releasing later this year. You can sign up to find out more at the Play Story Press website.
At Gen Con this year, you can come to Matt's seminar with Jon Peterson entitled "Exploring the Process and Sources for Writing Gaming History" (link). If you have a trade day badge, you can go to his seminar on "Teaching With Games That Challenge Gaming Norms" (link). And of course he's going to be at everyone's favorite Saturday night event at the WOTC Lucas Oil Stadium: our live podcast recording, where tickets are going fast.
Matt has been busy with more than just the book and the Gen Con events, as he documented the oral history of Origins 50 (link). You can also find him at PAX Unplugged, the Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo (PAGE), Gary Con and Adepticon.
