Game writers, narrative designers, and anyone else attending the Game Narrative Summit at GDC Online are invited to gather every night after hours at the unofficial official GNS hangout, the world-famous Ginger Man at 301 Lavaca St. (near 4th). Site of the notorious Combat Chatter Massacre of 2008 and rumored to be haunted by ghosts of GNS board members past, the storied Ginger Man boasts a fabulous beer garden and dozens of taps from which ales, stouts and ciders from local to exotic flow forth with the eye-popping overabundance of RPG quest text. There's no sexier, more combustible combination than writers and beer; if you don't believe us, come to the Ginger Man and see for yourself.
