    All,

    I am please to announce that the registration and first set of resources for this years International Games Month are now up on the site:

    International Games Month

    As this is the 15th anniversary of the first National Games Day we (the IGM committee) are working hard to make this years celebration one of the biggest/best. I am also pleased to announce that we will be hosting a game jam throughout the entire month of November. The themes have been chosen:

    • The connections we make through reading
    • "Happy Anniversary"

    more details will be coming soon, but for anybody who is unsure of what a game jam is or how to run one we've got you covered. GameRT is cosponsoring a webinar at the end of August to learn more about them, details can be found on the site.
