Grats on the Maunche. You do deserve it, so suck it up. In think your real quandary is how games and gaming fit into "the arts and sciences" at all. Which, it sounds to me, is a question you are more than qualified to answer.
My take, all arts and sciences are evolutionary. As historians, we try to follow that process of development to, at the very least, gain greater insight into the modern variations. Games lend to this model as well as anything else. However, in order for most games to live they have to exist in the mind of at least two people. To be of service to this area of study necessitates teaching. From what I've seen, you're good that this. I look forward to learning more games from you some time soon. :p
As to persona: you have one? Seriously, last time I asked you seemed pointedly vague. I figured were just holding at T-Tunic about 1000AD somewhere until you came up with a better line. I can help with 10th century Saxon-Norse, if needed.
