Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw Have I mentioned I'm going to be at PAX Dev and Pax West this year? Speaking at Dev, and haunting indie game booths otherwise. Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw Lots of great company, too, including @eplerjc, @patrickweekes, Melra_f_lem, and more!
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes I'm thinking I might run a @13thage game in the tabletop area, schedule permitting!
John Epler @eplerjc I'll be roaming the floor, and your booths. Look for the tall Canadian. Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw Oh yeah. Last thing about PAX: my standing offer is that if you bring it and a pen, I'll sign it so long as it's sanitary.
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
Dragon Age Creative Director Mike Laidlaw and Localization Development Manager Melanie Fleming team up to detail the guiding principles that take the world and feel of Dragon Age beyond the games and into other media. With specific examples from developing comics, animated films, and localized content, learn how the DA team communicates and collaborates with external partners.
BioWare @bioware Congrats to our friends @greenroninpub for winning two golds at the @ennies for the Dragon Age RPG Core Rulebook.
Conal Pierse @conalpierse Our rule book is the Michael Phelps of RPG rule books.
Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw Recent Loosely-Work-Related Google Image Searches: "Detective Camel" "Dave Matthews Looking Pleased"
Daniel Kading daniel_Kading The procured images were of tangible benefit to our development velocity!
Ben Gelinas @bengelinas Hey @mike_Laidlaw. If this whole video game thing doesn't work out for us, wanna start a seafood restaurant with me? We'll call it Aquariyum
Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw Oh nice! Maybe we can get some ambiance by making the house speakers play nothig but sole!
Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw A daily special called Just for the Halibut
Benoit Houle Retweeted Matt Elliott @mgelliott Nugs are real.
John Epler @eplerjc @karinweekes Buncha folks saying nice things about you and I'm 100% there, you and Melra_f_lem absolutely saved me on DAI.
Karin Weekes @karinweekes You are the best of people in our crazy, stressed out village. 💖
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes Pretty sure I made @gamblemike's day better by referring to our shared elevator rides as "Vertically dynamic breakout sessions."
Sylvf @sylvf1 You can fit another buzz-word in there. "micro-sessions"!
Cameron Lee @cameron__Lee I hope No Mans Sky can be modded on PC. I want to fly from a Dragon Age world to Jade Empire world in a Mass Effect ship. #LoveYourModder
Jess Hara Campbell @jharacampbell Today I had one of those glorious moments where testing the same scene over and over again made me literally laugh out loud each time #space Jess Hara Campbell @jharacampbell My favorite of these moments from DA:I was one of Iron Bull's scenes from later on in the romance. #lockthedoor #shouldaknocked
Jason Hill @lazertuna did we just accidentally reference the same scene
Jess Hara Campbell @jharacampbell Hard to tell since most of Bull's scenes made me laugh (Go go @patrickweekes) This was the one where you could commit for realz
Jason Hill @lazertuna where Josephine couldn't stop staring at 'the bull'
Jess Hara Campbell @jharacampbell EXACTLY
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes And then I was like, "What if we just stuck a sex comedy scene in the middle of this romance?"
Jason Hill @lazertuna the best part was how well our tools were able to sell her staring at 'the bull'
Jess Hara Campbell @jharacampbell "And then watch to see how the new LD can't control her giggling as she tests the content for the first time."
Nikki Vick @gamewithnikki Incredible time playing with @ahodsonb @aidanscanlan @morphemes and @ninjaflips on tonight's DAIMP stream. I love you guys so much.
Aidan Scanlan @aidanscanlan It was a blast. Thanks everyone, it's great knowing that people still enjoy playing!
Mike Laidlaw Retweeted Enayla @enaylacosplay Hauling Cullen up a mountain tomorrow for a photoshoot, can't wait! Thanks to @fiveringsphoto for the gorgeous shot.
Mark Darrah Retweeted Enayla @enaylacosplay Detailing and priming done, ready for painting. Always my favorite part! #dragonage #cosplay

Kyle Gaddo @kylegaddo Spoil the ending of your favorite game with no context. Kate Dollarhyde @keightdee my boyfriend was the trickster god all along Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes
Kate Dollarhyde @keightdee please, you are *so* not
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes Wellllllll... I regret the necessity?
Mentor_ @mentor_1997 @patrickweekes 1. are you the main leader of the dragon age series 2. does david gaider have any influence on the series anymore?
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes I'm the lead writer for the franchise going forward, yes. Dave is no longer at BioWare, but we still have his notes.

Alistair McNally @al_McNally It has to be said that the elevators at #BioWare are not the fastest and occasionally don't work at all. Punished for past sins?
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes One time I was stuck in one. For ten minutes, it would go up slowly, then DROP, then jerk to a stop. For ten full minutes.
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes I didn't have a fear of elevators before that, but I became a stairs man for awhile afterward.
Michael Gamble @gamblemike and one is surrounded with padding. Forever.
Alistair McNally @al_McNally Thats the "executive" elevator.
Making and Promoting Non-Traditional Characters in Games Games are finally starting to reflect their diverse players with more types of characters, scenarios, and approaches to gameplay. Whether it's writing a one-eyed pansexual bull and his trans lieutenant; featuring non-white main characters; showcasing the female option in marketing; creating an entire cast caught in a web of gender, sexuality, and ability; acquiring unusual indie titles; or keeping the conversation going; it's crucial. Hear from those who did it and how they'll do it again.
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes It's not a truly professional meeting until @mattrhodesart has done Cryptkeeper voice while working himself like a puppet. cc @eplerjc
John Epler @eplerjc 'I think my biggest worry is that we're the ones who are supposed to keep our ideas from making it into a shipped game.' cc @patrickweekes

BioWare @bioware Watch as we turn blocks of steel into a real-life Inquisition Longsword. Shiiiiing! ⚔
Conal Pierse @conalpierse We made a dang sword.
Sean @strayner super fun to shoot and worth charring my T-shirt for.
Brianne Battye @bbattye Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail - I think Cassandra would approve!
Conal Pierse @conalpierse We also for real debated not using this part because of how unbelievable it was
Sa @sa_roux this is wicked-cool, holy shit
Conal Pierse @conalpierse It all started with @strayner saying "I want to chop some stuff with a sword."
Muppet Camel Express Melra_f_lem it is why I like Sean so much, because he says stuff like that all the time.
Sean @strayner so far curiousity hasn't killed me. We'll see how long that lasts 😇
Muppet Camel Express Melra_f_lem I like to think of it as not so much dangerous curiosity but more of a "positive influence on Conal".
Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw Nothing like helping people move for 8 hours to get you pumped to review documents! #wooooo
