This week, Freddy Pang gave a talk about Live-Action Games: Playing them, designing them, and running them!
First, a quick primer: A Live-Action Game is a game played not with code on computers or cards on a table, but with people in real locations! The most popular LAG (an ironic acronym since, contrary to popular belief, real life does not have any network latency) is Humans vs Zombies, a game which pits a team of well-equipped, intelligent humans against a larger team of more primitive, but no less intelligent zombies.
Freddy's talk was framed around the design process of a HvZ-style LAG. Thanks, Freddy! If you want to know more, the slides are here!
