Season 6 of Curiosity in Focus is just around the corner! Fresh out of Gen Con 2018, here's audio from a panel Daniel co-hosted with Shel Kahn and Cat Tobin about saving the world through gaming. How do we translate our experiences as gamers into productive expression, activism & persuasion? Join us as we look at the map, hash out the tactics, & min/max our way out of the darkest timeline.
