Manchester Metropolitan Game Centre co-director, Chloé Germaine has recently co-edited a special issue of Studies in Gothic Fiction on popular adaptations of Lovecraftian fiction, with Dr Kerry Dodd.

Chloé Germaine, Paul Wake and Ben Bowman are looking for participants aged 16 years and older to help them research games and the climate crisis. The project is funded and gives you an opportunity to explore your ideas about climate change, the environment, and system change, by playing — and making — games.

MMGC PhD student Gemma Potter showcased her PhD research on crossovers between craft and digital gaming. Gemma is part of the Transformation North West PhD training programme and her research intersects with industry, games, and craft.

The Man Met Game Centre are researching different modes of analogue play to better understand the ways in which game design and play might support action on the climate crisis.

In preparation for our upcoming event on Roleplaying History — Dice on the Nile we have prepared a special podcast of a gaming session. Our game is played against the backdrop of Egypt, in the 8th century of the common era.
