Can designers learn anything from old-school role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons and Traveller? Sure! Designers of all kinds are getting comfortable applying principles of game design to non-game applications. Many of those principles date back to the early days of role-playing games, from Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson's first edition of D&D in 1974 to less well-known games like Runequest and Traveller. Game designers have been revisiting these early works and extracting wisdom from them, and I'd like to bring some of those lessons to the user experience community. In this deliciously nerdy talk, I'll present user-experience lessons from old-school gaming, including the role of showmanship in constructing an experience, how imperfections and missing pieces can increase engagement, and the difference between sandbox and railroad designs.

This talk was presented at Webvisions 2010 in Portland, Oregon. When you're designing for the web, you have to think about identity. This includes the nuts and bolts of login fields and passwords, as well as fancy technologies like Facebook Connect, OAuth, and OpenID. This talk presents a pragmatic approach to identity on the web, focused on best practices and a reality-based understanding of user behavior. I'll cover: * How users really handle accounts and passwords, and what that means for your site. * Best practices for login/logout. * Shared accounts, shared computers, and other messy realities. * What designers needs to know about OpenID, OAuth, Facebook Connect, and other identity platforms. * What might happen next: future-proofing your design without a crystal ball.]]>
