Resources

If you use IF in education, or teach about IF, you might want to connect with IFTF’s Education Committee, which is currently building resources and communication networks.

Articles and Podcasts

The Short Game podcast covered Counterfeit Monkey (and liked it, yay!). They’re interested in hearing suggestions for more IF to try and play, so worth letting them know about if you’re interested.

Sam Kabo Ashwell reviews a new boardgame based on the classic Choose Your Own Adventure series.

Crowdsourcing

There is also a Kickstarter for a new version of the classic tabletop storygame Fiasco, this time working with a card deck.
