[Roleplaying] Conference papers?

[Markus Montola]

I've got two forthcoming in DiGRA, both on same theme of pervasive 
role-playing. One of them discusses how pervasive games and role-playing 
games function together, looking at half-a-dozen games simultaneously -- 
basically I'm trying to find the common coolness factors.

Montola, Markus (2007): Tangible Pleasures of Pervasive Role-Playing.


The other is a coauthored thing looking at a single experimental game, 
Prosopopeia Bardo 2: Momentum, that our project organized last fall in 
Sweden. Being a prototype thing it's a this-is-what-we-tried + 
here-we-ended-up paper.

Stenros, J., Montola, M., Waern, A. & Jonsson, S. (2007): Play it for 
Real: Sustained Seamless Life/Game Merger in Momentum.


(The conference theme "Situated Play" was extremely favorable for our 
cause).
