Delivery Mode: In-Person
Principal Sponsoring Organization: Program in Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS), Univ. of North Carolina–Chapel Hill

This panel is focused on the form and function of the first-person perspective in medievalist games, broadly construed, and the potentials and pitfalls of games as sites of imaginative participation in the medieval. We invite submissions from any field or methodological framework, as long as they are concerned, in some way, with games which situate the player, either linguistically or visually, as a first-person participant in the action of the game.
