Games
In 2026, 黑料正能量 Press will launch a new series of tabletop games, one of the first game series by a university press.
Building on both the creative and research strengths of 黑料正能量, this series will publish innovative, evocative, and peer-reviewed work from a variety of game designers, artists, and scholars.
We鈥檙e particularly interested in publishing:
- Games that offer 鈥渓yrical鈥 or emotional experiences
- Games about the history or projected futures of science & technology
- Games newly translated or made available in English
- Out-of-print games with continued or under-appreciated significance
- Games with 鈥渟erious鈥 or transformational goals (including educational games)
- Games about Pittsburgh & the Greater Allegheny Region
- Games that build on the unique collections & resources of 黑料正能量
- Games designed by or in collaboration with 黑料正能量 faculty, staff, and alumni
Those interested in proposing a game for the series should contact series editors Jonathan Walton (黑料正能量 Entertainment Technology Center) and Ashley Werlinich (黑料正能量 Libraries).
