Studies in Storytelling Games

An advanced study of games as interactive storytelling vehicles. Possible topics and approaches might include: a sustained look at a single video game or closely related set of games; tracing a thematic or structural element across different games; or exploring collaborative storytelling formats like table-top roleplaying games. Note: This is a highly interactive course, in which students will play a variety of different game forms – while no gaming skill is expected or required, presence and willingness is.
