Remember that our Oasis Talks are also usually streamed (via YouTube) and archived as video - today Prof Nick Webber talked about TTRPGs/Remnants of Play:

An empty seminar room with a long, white desk and grey chairs. There are game-related doctoral dissertations scattered across the table. On the screen at the end of the room, there's a powerpoint slide with the text: Gamelab's integrative chapter group 2025–2026; 11.9.2025; Usva Friman & Jaakko Stenros.
Yesterday, we launched our 'integrative chapter club' for doctoral researchers who are getting closer to finalising their dissertations. With six participants from our group and one honoured guest, we're looking forward to seeing many interesting #GameStudies defences within the next 1.5 years! 🤩
