Several bees.

"Hello. I'm a freelance game designer, researcher and writer living in London."

Holly Gramazio's games include:

Trap Street: a collaborative map of London built out of the fallible memories and deliberate lies of passers-by.

The Soho Stag Hunt: a chase that ran as the finale to The Soho Project.

True or False: A tour of Chelsea with two duplicitous guides and a series of game-based forfeits.

I Love Bees!

DNS resolution for severalbees.com is not working for me. He's got to get someone to take a hard look at his DNS records. Even if the root is down he should have those DNS records mirrored someplace else.

[note: even if it works for you, he's still got a problem with his DNS]

The Ludocity links should work.

Her site works fine for me, though the load is a wee bit slow. DNS problems noted.

I just love that the Internet is big enough for someone like Holly to display her wares and talents, and small enough for someone like Marisa etc. to share it with someone like me.

Gosh, that's certainly one way to startle me into moving from "intermittent lurker" to "actually paying my $5", though if you plan to take this approach with all the lurkers I imagine it's going to take a while.

I'll look into the DNS, anyway - thanks. And perhaps next time I consider updating the site and adding individual information about each game, I won't think "next month is plenty soon enough, I'm sure nobody much will look at it before then" but will instead actually do it - or at least, you know, put it at the top of a to-do list in capital letters with a couple of emphatic asterisks.
