Hi everyone,

Ok, yeah, I'm off my rocker attempting to plan this sucker but here 
goes my idea for something in addition to the workshop and 
roundtables we've been doing at past GDCs...

I'd like to get together a panel of "big names" in game development 
to be a part of a panel that would brainstorm the coolest *out there* 
(WAAAAAAY out there) accessible game that's AT LEAST accessible to 
one disability group (if not more!) and fun in and of itself. Kinda 
like the Jedi Mind Trick Biofeedback stuff or the GPS audio 
game...just plain *whoa...that s***'s gonna really blow people's 
minds" type stuff.

Ok. This might not work. I might not get anyone to agree because big 
names are busy people. But that's not important right now. What IS 
important is that the GDC deadline is coming up and I need NAMES of 
who to invite ASAP.  And, yes, I have already asked Will Wright 
(finger's crossed). :)

So step up to the plate and give me YOUR dream team of panelists for 
such a venture. Discuss on the list. Or email me privately. This is a 
"think tank" kind of panel so we'd give the panelists some things to 
keep in mind when they are prepping but we really want them to feed 
off of each other and the audience.

So your task, should you choose to accept it, is to give me some 
nominations! Go! Go! Go!

Michelle
