The REB is responsible for reviewing manuscripts and giving clear feedback to authors. It also creates and oversees templates for game components, introductory boilerplate, and the BLORG (Big List of Reacting Games).
The REB seeks diversity in disciplines, institutions, and perspectives. There is no set term. The board has not yet set a deadline for applicants to submit materials but will announce a timeline in the near future. Be on the lookout for updates coming later in 2022.
Anyone hoping to apply for the board should be prepared to submit:
• A Two-page CV
• Statement of interest
• Description of experience with Reacting and other game-based learning
