The only way to catch up with the always busy Jabari Alii is to join him for a walk around Lake Merritt. The founder of Blue Alchemy Studio and creator of the digital strategy-card game Planet Rise tells me his thoughts on questions raised at the "Black Representation in Gaming" panel at GDC 2018 like: Why is there a lack of diversity for the lead role in games and movies? Describe your ideal character of color? We then discuss how the answers inform the creation of the heroine Nia Kasai and the importance of a diverse range of characters when creating a strong narrative.

Expectation and Reality share a fabled history. Like two sides of a coin, each has landed on success and failure. These are a few moments when expectation met reality during: 1. When I overslept or slept in and spent the morning trying to catch up on the game scores and highlights, all while my Frenchie snored in my ear and the microphone. 2. The diverging paths of Ronaldo and Messi. 3. Iran and Serbia have gone from underrated to recognition. 4. Neymar and Brazil found relief and redemption. There's more...

World Cup Russia 2018 was in full swing starting at 3 a.m. Pacific Time here in California. From France's 2-1 victory over Australia to Messi's missed penalty kick that resulted in a 1-1 tie with Iceland, the stories of heartache and heroism changed with each pass, shot, and goal. Sometime around the first half of Croatia vs. Nigeria, the impact of Peru's 1-0 loss to Denmark centered around a penalty kick missed by Christian Cueva. Nigeria's Super Eagles fought to overcome an early 1-0 deficit to Croatia. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/seth-the-storyteller/message

Getting up just to save the world does not sound like a good enough reason. How do superheroes do it? Do they struggle? Does Superman? Does Spider-Man? What reasons do your characters have for getting out of bed? Let's bring it closer to home. Why do most of us get up?
