Anyone remotely interested in this topic of itneractive storytelling has to
read Janet Murray's HAMLET ON THE HOLODECK. Amazon URL:

Janet recently left MIT to work at Georgia tech alongside Dr Amy Bruckman of
MediaMOO fame.

Also, Chris Crawford is trying to get a conference giong on Interactive
Storytelling. Right now it is not multiplayer or single-player centric, is
invite only, and happens in his front yard. It's called Phrontisterion, I
went last year and don't know if I am going this year. Did I post the URL to
the conference ntoes already here? Well, in case I didn't:
