I am so excited that this book is now available. It includes my chapter expanding theory on player capital and covering how players engage with and use religion in Dragon Age!

I had a wonderful time listening to engaging approaches to teaching about antiquities and talking about God of War and Hades for the Pedagogy Potluck at #AIMS2024 this morning!

Romance is a big deal for a lot of players. This article checks out some of these romantic dynamics in games like the new Dragon Age title The Veilguard (and I'm also briefly quoted in it)!
