Our next general meeting is on Monday, July 26, 6:30 pm, in Nick Montfort’s office at MIT (14N-233). Everyone and anyone is welcome to attend. Our tentative agenda is:

  • Discuss our own Andrew Plotkin’s Readercon talk.
  • Try out a few of the IntroComp games.
  • It’s been confirmed: PAX East is returning to Boston for the next 3 years. We’ll start contemplating how we might want to participate.
  • And we’ll watch the latest Gameshelf episode: Gameshelf #8: Modern Interactive Fiction.

We will also hold an IF Collaborative Play event on the previous day (Sunday, July 25th, 2:00-5:00 pm) at MIT 66-480 1-135. We will be playing and discussing MIT Dungeon (the original mainframe Zork) — or rather Ethan Dicks’s port of that game to the Z-machine. Experienced Zorkers and newcomers welcome.
