Off The Page by Sarah Cole published on 2017-06-26T21:41:32Z Off the Map was held at the British Library as part of the London Games Festival Fringe on Sat 08/04/17, organised by myself and Stella Wisdom. The aim was to explore the overlap between literature and games. We invited a host of great speaker to explore how games and literature interact as the boundaries between art forms blur, how are the fictional worlds of our favourite novels and plays represented in games, and what games bring to the written word in return. Lynda Clark did a nice write-up of the event which you can find at https://foracademicpurposes.wordpress.com/2017/04/09/off-the-page-literature-and-games-at-the-british-library/ Our speakers were: - Stella Wisdom, speaking about the British Library's Off the Map competition - Tom Battey speaking about his entry to Off The Map, Midsummer - Gary Green, speaking about games in libraries and Odyssey Jam - Darren Edwards, on International Games Day @ your library - Christie Golden, New York Times bestselling author, joined us remotely to speak about writing novels for game franchises. - Jon Ingold of Inkle and writer Meg Jayanth, speaking about 80 Days - Tracey Fullerton joined us remotely to speak about Walden, A Game - Guy Gadney, speaking about his work on adapting John Wyndham’s The Kraken Wakes - Jeremy Hogan, speaking about Kim, based on the Rudyard Kipling novel - Jakub Szamalek, Senior Writer at CD Projekt Red, on The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt Genre Talk Recordings Contains tracks Stella Wisdom by Sarah Cole published on 2017-06-26T21:41:32Z Tom Battey by Sarah Cole published on 2017-06-26T21:41:32Z Gary Green by Sarah Cole published on 2017-06-26T21:41:32Z Darren Edwards by Sarah Cole published on 2017-06-26T21:41:32Z Christie Golden by Sarah Cole published on 2017-06-26T21:41:31Z
