Visit to the HyperMedia Lab in Tampere, Finland

Apocalypse 4

I was invited a couple weeks ago to give a workshop at the Games and Storytelling Workshop at the HyperMedia Lab. While there, I met a bunch of great people and we made some interesting game prototypes. Here are pix from the trip and workshop: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kinojabber/sets/72057594066067704/

During the first day, we played Werewolf and a bunch of Surrealist games. On day two, we played New Games and theatre games, including a great set of improv scenes that I wasn't able to pix of, because I was too involved. On day three we worked on a game modding project and on day four, we created several storytelling games.

The final day was for playtesting with Frans Mayra and a number of other people from the HyperMedia Lab. Frans played the storytelling games with spirit, and no one who was there will soon forget the character of the "ketchup heiress, Cleopatra Heinz" who was the downfall of our weak-willed hero in "The Final Voyage of the Albatross" Game. :)

As Tracy mentions, this was indeed awesome and we had a really lovely group of people!
Thanks again for putting together such a great time for us.

Hopefully, Once Petri gets his photos to us then you can perhaps link some of the pictures from the improv day!

Now of course it would be great if you could send out that e-mail ;P
