I am finally starting this series and in the 1st 15 minutes Alex & @sharangbiswas.bsky.social have already drawn fascinating distinctions between game academics & game scholars and a key potential distinction between TTRPG & larp that I hadn’t yet heard.

And that’s before they even get going.

Okay #asecs2025, who is ready for some #18thC cat meme action? I'm talking about cats I found looking at a selection of Lewis Walpole Library imagetexts THIS SATURDAY during the last session slot. It's going to be mega serious. But you should still come.
