Pingback: More Than Just A Game: Conflict Simulations with McGill's Professor Brynen ·
Pingback: Gamepolitics Rss Feed | Piose
This is a very cool website Professor Brynen…. just like your lectures at McGill. I still remember your great sense of humor!
We welcome contributions!
This looks like a wonderful blog and one that I will promote to my students. I’ll be sure to write something for you soon (if you’ll have me!), Chris Jagger
