For those of you out there who may be madly preparing for comps (like myself) - I have an interesting web source for you. It can be found on the gender webquest site, under New Players, New Games by Brenda Laurel. It is a manuscript of a talk she did in which she discusses a variety of design, game, and gender issues. I found it very interesting to read. The site is at http://www.tauzero.com/Brenda_Laurel/Recent_Talks/NewPlayersNewGames.htm .
