Long Description:
Join Jon Peterson, author of Game Wizards and Playing at the World, and Matt Shoemaker, author of Gathering of Gamers, to discuss the process of writing non-fiction works on the history of gaming. Writing history requires the use of many sources. Considering how recent modern tabletop gaming has risen, this means not just traditional textual sources, but also social media, web pages, and data.
