The Gales of November
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. Its tragic story was the focus of folk-rock artist Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 ballad, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” … So how would a game measure up next to Mr. Lightfoot in telling the story of this doomed ship?
NASAGA's blog routinely publishes work from members talking about their work, their games, and big ideas they're developing. Recently, we published a piece by Brian Stauber where he muses about using the Dread RPG system to create a game commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald's sinking. Solemn and emotional, the piece lays out what the game might look like and how designers can walk the delicate line between play and memory. Come check it out!
