Play a game about a plague in the middle of a pandemic?  Who would want to do that?

Lots of people, it turns out.  So I thought we should talk to Amy Curry, the designer of 1349,:  The Black Death Comes to Norwich.  In our interview, we chat about why Amy decided to write a game about the topic, how the game evolved over time and how it changed when Amy started teaching it on-line.

But Amy is also one of Reacting's resident experts at running asynchronous games.  So I asked her for tips and warnings about taking games designed to be played in-person and running them on-line.

Amy had fascinating things to say about both topics.  I can't wait to play her game myself. And she made me feel just a bit more at ease about running games on-line in my own classes.
