There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: Claire Stricklin presents her work on Experimental Prop Design for Streaming Actual Plays
Full Summary: Building on a critical review of frame analytical approaches to role-playing game studies and supported by an ethnographic study of actual play performers, the Party Mascot is designed to “flicker” between social, gameplay, and fictional frames of interaction. Taking the form of a talking mechanical raven, the Party Mascot extends audience participation on the Twitch platform from its native chat interface to the physical playspace.
