Evan Raskob on Speculation

Antonis — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 16:32:03 +0000

Cards have traditionally been used to look into the future, and Cartomancy – using decks like the tarot or Lenormand – or even playing cards was incredibly popular in the 19th century. For a more modern take on this, without the supernatural connotations, we can look to games like Peek – created by our guest, Evan Raskob. The future does not yet exist, so the stories we tell ourselves about it are very important – because they can inform what actually happens. “Where attention goes, energy flows”, as they say. Narrative imagination is a powerful tool for people to innovate and speculate on what might be possible. Listen in as Evan explains this and tells us what he has learned from designing games.

Deckible App – 100 Decks in your Pocket – Demo

Ludogogy — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 15:41:08 +0000

On the 5th April, Sarah co-hosted a demo session with Nick Kellet, the creator of Deckible. The tagline of this app is ‘100 Decks in your Pocket’ and that’s exactly what it gives you. If you love using card decks for facilitation, ideation, meditation, tarot reading or anything else, you’ll want this on your phone, when it launches in May 2022.

Deckible allows you to purchase, and interact with your decks in a vast number of ways, while leaving your precious physical decks safe at home. You can journal with them, spend meditation time with them, share them with others, and curate your own superdecks, create custom spreads for interacting with them and much more.

And if you’re a deck creator Deckible offers you the opportunity to make your decks available to users of the app in a no-cost, no-risk, revenue sharing model.
