.As we come to the end of March, I want to thank all of our wonderful<br>
contributors for their time, words, and expertise. I think we've left<br>
a very helpful collective record here of game-related approaches and<br>
resources, despite the challenges we've all faced adjusting to<br>
coronavirus upheaval. Please encourage your students and colleagues to<br>
refer to the archived messages at<br>

<br>
I also want to thank Renate (and Tim) for their behind-the-scenes<br>
work, and Soraya Murray for introducing me to empyre.<br>
<br>
Wishing everyone health, safety, and perseverance for the months ahead.<br>
