My main reason I’d like to go to Narrascope is just to put names to faces.
The main reason I haven’t been interested in attending virtually or in person (besides money) is that most of the talks the first two years seemed oriented towards the professional game design industry, which wasn’t of interest. I didn’t look at the talks this year, so it might be different, but that was my main reason. Now I feel bad and will go see what they were about!
Edit: it looks like there were some cool ones, I hope there’s video of them. I’d love to try to go next year!
