Jason welcomes Greg Loring-Albright back to the show after completing his PhD in game stuff! We lead off the show talking about his latest game from Leder Games, Ahoy! It will be available for pre-order at the Leder Games website soon - www.ledergames.com.
We then get into Greg's thesis about tabletop games and digital adaptations. Greg found many gamers have found ways for them to coexist, so his discusses his experiences and research there. Finally, we discuss games as media, including the kinds of messages they can and cannot share with us.

It's a weird little thematic disconnect when you're not sure who or what your avatar in-game is. Perhaps we have swallowed corporate personhood so fully that we can easily accept playing as a corporation but balk a little at an amorphous group of power brokers--or a faceless protagonist channeling tree spirits.
