DESCRIPTION:&#13\;\n&#13\;\nOne way to engage social good with games is t
 hrough careful consideration of meaningful design. In this presentation\
 , Corvus Elrod highlights occurrences of meaningful game design througho
 ut history\, as well as in video games.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nPlease join us fo
 r this exciting discussion and meet fellow members. We also will have a 
 brief update on the status of Portland Games for Change including upcomi
 ng events and the next steps on setting group priorities.&#13\;\n&#13\;\
 n-----------&#13\;\n&#13\;\nCorvus Elrod is a Semionaut and Play Designe
 r. He is the co-founder of a Zakelro!\, a two-person\, one-poodle creati
 ve studio in Portland\, OR. He is also the creator of Bhaloidam\, an ind
 ependently published tabletop storytelling platform. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nCor
 vus has been designing participatory experiences for the better part of 
 two decades\, beginning with his exploration of improvisational theater.
  As he incorporated more and more game mechanics into his performances\,
  he turned his attention to how game mechanics communicate meaning and b
 egan formalizing a semiotic theory of game design. He has contracted for
  a broad spectrum of clients\, from major videogame studios and publishe
 rs--including THQ\, EA\, and Playdom--to installation artists and theate
 r directors. He is also working on several small game projects in collab
 oration with other independent developers and artists.&#13\;\n\n\nTags:
