The video is now available for Hawke Robinson's RPG Research Project discussion/speech at November's 2014 ZoeCon II. ZoeCon is from Zombie Orpheus Entertainment, creators of The Gamers, The Gamers II: Dorkness Rising, The Gamers III: Hands of Fate, Journey Quest, and many other shows.

I was asked to speak at ZoeCon II, the creators of The Gamers, Journey, and other great shows. They had trouble getting their Audio/Video/Broadcast equipment working, so they asked me at the last minute, with less than 5 minutes warning, to go ahead and present regarding using role-playing games for therapy and education, while they tried to get everything online. I am grateful to them for the opportunity to speak with the slowly gathering audience (though it was a rather laid-back atmosphere). Due to the situation, I went with a more interactive discussion and less formal presentation, especially for the audience. I have a much more formal presentation lined up for the Washington State Therapeutic Recreation Association 16th annual conference this April 11th in Seattle.

Since their A/V equipment was down, I was without a microphone, and I just sat my laptop off to the side to record for posterity. I am sorry the audio and video is so poor. I spent many hours deciphering the audio as best i could to add subtitles, since many people kept asking me to upload this video, but I couldn't do so in good conscience without adding something to make it more intelligible.

I hope you find this helpful and informative, and I welcome your questions and feedback.

I will next be speaking in Seattle this April 11th. It is a much more formal setting, I will be providing a 90 minute presentation with Q&A and audience participation at the 16th Annual Washington State Therapeutic Recreation Association - http://rpgresearch.com/blog/presenting-at-wstra-conference  

Happy Gaming!
