FORKED DIALOGUES #1
Exploring interactive-fiction as a plurality

* Thursday December 12
* 11:00 - 13:00 
* WH 4th floor
* Snacks and drinks provided :) 

Reading CYOA books alone in your room, playing a text adventure behind your computer screen... Often, interactive fiction can be an individual experience. Forked Dialogues explores ways to make interactive fiction a collaborative, performative and plural experience.

Hey! This Thursday I will be hosting a first *playtesting session*: Forked Dialogues #1 

In this session, we will do some game-adjacant activities in a small group (myself and ~3 others). While interactive fiction usually aims to increase agency, these activities will revolve around subtracting, subverting or sharing agency in play. It's going to be casual and fun!

Interested? Send me a DM! (also for questions)
Interested but can't make it? Still send me a DM! Then I will make sure to contact you for future sessions! :) As this session is with such a small group, I might try to do another session right after the first, if there's enough interest

Schedule-ish:

• Walk-in, conversation about what to expect from this session, what your experiences with text-adventures are, etc. (30 minutes)
• Reading Archival Oceans Zine as an icebreaker and thematic introduction (10 minutes)
• Playing a text-adventure together (30 minutes)
• Playering a asymmetric text-adventure (40 minutes) <-- this is the main playtesting thing
• Ending with a conversation (aided by storycubes?) (remaining time)
