The great people over at the ARG Netcast had a very nice interview with Will and Nathan this week. They talk about designing ARGs, the work we’ve done in the past, and what we see for the future.

Studio Cypher is working with Ted Castronova on the second Ludium conference at Indiana University. The first one, which we also worked on, was a big success, and we look forward to the next one. From the article at Gamasutra:
Indiana University’s Synthetic Worlds Initiative has announced Ludium II, its second conference bringing together experts from academia, industry, and government to create a consensus platform that answers, “What policies should real world governments have with regards to synthetic worlds?”
...
Designed by Studio Cypher LLC, the game has attendees play as delegates of a political party convention who must agree upon a common platform, and, SWI hopes, “will lead the group to a set of policy recommendations believed by most participants to be important, sensible, and feasible.”
