I wrote something like 100K words of weird underworld content for this gorgeously illustrated "tactical narrative" game from the creator of King of Dragon Pass, and that's only a fraction of the content... definitely worth a wishlist.

I'm giving a lightning talk at Narrascope this year!
🧉Che, is this English? Implying one language in another🧉
A quick tour of things I learned making a game set in Solarpunk Buenos Aires, but writing it in English - from words and grammar to friction and culture.

I made a new (short) #TTRPG ! It's a two-player storytelling game where one player is a mechanical fortune-teller who only knows the future, and the other a lost and lonely seeker who only knows the past.

The setting of All Will Rise is Muziris, #India. Despite being one of the most populous nations on Earth, India is so rarely represented in video games. We want to change that, and bring India’s rich history, traditions, complexity and culture to a global gaming audience! 🇮🇳 ❤️

"And what of the dead? They lie without shoes
in their stone boats. They are more like stone
than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse
to be blessed, throat, eye and knucklebone."
