First: thanks to Eric Willisson for spurring this. Thanks Big Bad Con for doing the real work.

I pitched having a completely optional game of practicing virtues. Do a thing, mark XP. Mark enough XP, get a cookie. Get enough cookies, get a harder assignment. Basically.

My boss loved it, and is going to have me pitch it to management. Which is awesome.

During the pitch, I mentioned I got it from gaming + Aristotle. Because that's really what this is: practicing practical virtue

If this nets me a raise or whatever, I'll give some money to BBC's favorite charity, whatever that is.

  1. That's really cool!

    All of our Tell Me About Your Character Booth earnings go toward Doctors Without Borders

  2. DWB is a pretty good charity!

    We'll see what comes of this. I pinged Sean by email and got what for sure seemed like enthusiastic consent to try this in an office.

    We shall see.
