[Roleplaying] DiGRA 2007 panels

[Frans Mäyrä]

Hi Anders,

Yeah, the deadline is soon, and the communications about this panel CFP 
has been very poorly distributed in advance (as unfortunately has been 
the law with the Japanese partners running the conference organisation). 
But I suppose the full papers can also be short papers rather than full 
long papers, so if there is a chance of finishing an interesting 
collection of short texts and talks around them in time for a 
role-playing studies panel, then: go for it.

Best;

-- Frans
