#200: When Higher Ed Meets Tabletop Gaming

In this episode, we sit down with Veronica Gregory, coordinator of outreach for the Center for Learning through Games and Simulations at Central Michigan University. Veronica helps run Central Michigan University Press, the only academic press in the country that publishes peer reviewed tabletop games. We talk about how games move through a rigorous, multi step review process, why designers keep full rights to their own work, and how a student program called Pages of the Press is giving undergraduates real publishing experience. Veronica also shares details on two upcoming crowdfunding campaigns and offers advice on what it really takes to build a career in an industry she never expected to join. If you have ever wondered what happens when higher education and game publishing collide, this episode is for you.
