IGDA London hosted a wonderful evening roundtable featuring a great cast of game writers, their challenges, how they broke into the industry and the challenges of being a game designer.
In the evening, everyone ajourned (and invaded) the local pub in Borough for an evening of drinks. I just wished, I could have found out more, with regards to the challenges of developing games realted to Movie tie ins. Eg. Terminator Salvation, Avatar, etc.
IGDA London: Writers Block
