Games and Warfare
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ 30 Irving Pl, New York, NY 10003

Storytelling Adaptation for Games
Playcrafting NYC @ 11 Times Square, New York, NY 10036
Many believe not all stories make for great gameplay, citing decades of awful movie-to-game adaptations as proof.

So why not just stick to what games...
