Are you curious what might make a good talk proposal for #NarraScope 2026? Our communications volunteer Hélène Lupa made a blog post about it narrascope.org/blog/post/20...
Are you a TTRPG developer? Do you want to submit a talk to #NarraScope 2026? You should! And this year Narrascope isn't on the same day as Free RPG Day!

Submit your narrative games to the Showcase! We want your cool games! Deadline Jan 31st. #interactivefiction #narrativegames #NarraScope
but much respect for that presentation and person-- looks like an awesome talk!
Taper #15 is out. Each issue contains tiny computational poems centered around a theme. The complete code must be under 2Kb. One of my pieces in the issue is an interactive erasure of Shakespeare's Sonnet 15, in which only half the poem can ever be visible at once.
taper.badquar.to/15/sonnet15....
This Taper issue is themed around the idea of midpoints and intersections, and other associations of the number 15. My second piece in the issue (again, under 2Kb!) is a Tarot Card reading in which the Devil card is repeatedly drawn and increasingly corrupted.

I think you have the wrong person. I didn't give that talk-- it was someone named Agnes Chang. :)

Taper #14: Sonnets is now out! Iβm biased, but itβs an especially exciting issue with 28 diverse works of computational poetry (broadly), and, as always, they are all free software for you to study, share, and modify. You can sample a few in 5-10 minutes, this feed will wait! taper.badquar.to/14/
Latest issue of Taper, my first as part of the editorial board, is now live! Huge congrats to my fellow editors for bringing this collection to life.
In this issue you can find sonnets that shift, erase, ignite, sing and more.

There'll be a special "digitally native interactive workshop performance" this year for registered attendees.
NarraScope 2025 by @narrascope.org is one of the most provocative gaming conferences I've ever been to. Also, there are some really great new games, academic research, and novel interfaces that showcase there. 10/10 would recommend for intelligent conversations around #gaming and #storytelling.
Hello fellow IF fans, game writers, players and story enjoyers! Our annual conference on narrative games, NarraScope, is less than a month away. As the event draws closer, I wanted to turn your attention to the trademark Big Thermometer on narrascope.org, which tracks fundraising for the event. We are currently at $15,005, which is 60% of our $25,000 goal. To be clear: NarraScope is not in danger of going under or being canceled. However, we rely on donations from both sponsors and individuals to make sure that we don't need to dig so deep into IFTF's treasury that it could impact our other programs you love β things like IFComp, IFDB, the Twine committee, and more. This year, contributions from both individuals and institutions have been lower than in the past, for reasons we can likely deduce by looking at the world around us. These contributions are what allow us to offer attendance at a significantly lower price point than many other conferences. The conference team is working as always to continue to fundraise, but we wanted to ask that if you have the stability and ability to do so, to consider sending IFTF a small donation. You can do so at iftechfoundation.org/give/, and if you want, put a note indicating that it is directed at NarraScope and how you would like to be credited, if you so desire. Additionally, if you know any institutions that may be interested in a sponsorship, please email sponsorship@narrascope.org with the details. This year's event looks to be our largest yet, with more programming, attendees and events than any in the past! Your support helps keep NarraScope and IFTF sustainable and ensures that the event goes off without a hitch. Our in-person tickets have totally sold out, but passes to stream talks live are still available through 18 June 2025. As always, we appreciate your support, and Iβm excited to see many of you next month in Philadelphia! - Justin Bortnick, President, Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation
A message from IFTF's president about this year's event (don't panic!):
My & Patsy Baudoinβs French/English text-generating installation will be part of the show at Jeu de Paume in Paris, April 11 β September 21. The public opening is April 10!

We will be announcing more judges soon, so keep an eye out! And if youβd like to submit to the Showcase, you have until May 1st to do so at narrascope.org/showcase
