COMING SOON: In prelaunch w/ Violent Delights, another game inspired by Shakespeare: Mousetrap is a cursed game-within-a-game that won’t go back into its box. It’s game night. You and your friends have gathered to play a Hamlet-inspired game manuscript from 1983. But there’s a catch…

So with the news of the layoffs at KO_OP, I'm officially looking for work later this fall. I'm an experienced narrative designer that's worked on both sprawling open world stories and intimate cinematic narratives, even netting some award wins and noms. More details on my experience below!

reading about how zines were used to demonstrate "providing material support to terrorists" in the prairieland sentencing leaves a pit in my stomach. 30 years for zines you'd see tabled at almost any zinefest

Flavio Pessoa did an amazing job showing a selection of the files, like photos of Liz Soto and her husband Ines, a fellow defendant, tabling with their Emma Goldman Book Club. the Sotos had a printing press in their garage. the FBI came for it while they were in jail. that’s in the files, too.

Where we review lovely Liars-Dice-Meets-Faustian-Rock-Stars game Last Train To Bremen, and I decide today is not the day to back away from self-parody find time to interrogate it for its rockist tendencies.

also, kieron has shrewdly identified my secret agenda of "when will a table of players get together and reskin their quartet as a kpop group"
