Ed and I both had the opportunity to listen in to some of the sessions. We agreed that the most interesting and useful information for our community was presented by the developer of A Force More Powerful. A newly designed, open-source, game on conflict resolution will be released in November 2009. The open-source design will allow people to add real or imaginary conflict scenarios as game modules.
