Gamer to Change Maker
Apply your gamer skills to real world collaboration challenges
Greetings Gamer
Do you know that your time as a gamer has equipped you with valuable skills needed in real-world endeavours?
When you’re running your D&D table, planning your next MMO raid, or moderating a fan group, you’re using skills that parallel those of professional managers, facilitators, and project leaders.
It’s all about bringing people together around shared goals.
Amble Studio’s new workshop will help you translate these skills to other parts of your life.
This workshop will explore how you might use some of these skills to enable better collaboration, whether that's building more cohesion in your playgroup, spinning up a new community endeavour, or bringing better ways of working to your latest work project.
All of our instructors have multi-classed as both Game Designers and Professional Facilitators, and we’re ready to show you the ropes.
Ready to level up?

Your facilitator:
Jason Tampake is a facilitation and collaboration design professional, and a proud member of the Amble Studio troupe.
Jason has spent the last decade practicing his collaboration skills as a member of PwC's the Difference capability, where he worked across Government, Industry and Not for Profit sectors to enable leaders to tackle some of their most complex organisational challenges.
A lifelong tabletop gamer, Jason can be found slinging spells on the Magic the Gathering battlefield, rolling polyhedrals for his half-orc barbarian, or co-creating narrative with team Amble through a broad variety of indie TTRPG titles - more recently getting to enjoy the strange existential crisis of a duck named Jon.
