Worldsbuilder: Making the Weirder Choice With Ashlyn Sparrow

You may know her as Nia from Oops, All Witches, but game designer and scholar Ashlyn Sparrow sat down with me today to talk about transmedia games, the future of the game industry, and how games can function as everything from educational tools to political praxis. From ARGs to emerging media, Ash offers a sharp, accessible look at how games reflect real life, how interactive storytelling is evolving, and how media makers and game designers can build systems that inspire civic engagement, collective action, and social change.
