Catch me on November 1 at Sarah Lawrence, talking about memoir, BRCA, and writing at the Institute for Genomics.

It was absolutely incredible to see two masters of their craft at work with a large group and in the proper setting. Expect more pictures soon - this was pure magic! ✨ Thanks to @jmstar.bsky.social and @lizziestark.bsky.social for being wonderful human beings and inspiring creators.

@lizziestark.bsky.social and I ran Nina Runa Essendrop and Simon Steen Hansen's larp Hvid Død for 30 students at Wesleyan tonight and it went great. What a beautiful game. They made such a mess in the brand new black box theater. Thanks to @czamboni.bsky.social for bringing us!

We had such a blast, and even heard rumors of a larp club being formed. If I were a student, I’d use the heck out of that beautiful space!

I've been working on BIG CRONE ENERGY: A LOVE LETTER TO FIERCE ELDERS for three years. It's got dissident nuns, flexible 103-year-old ballet teachers, activist grannies, and lesbian performers in it, to name a few. I'm proud of it. Pre-order below! #bigcroneenergy bookshop.org/p/books/big-...

So @jmstar.bsky.social's talk at Wesleyan on 09/23 got even better because the amazing @lizziestark.bsky.social will come down from Boston and join us! So here's a new poster! Join us on Wed 9/23 at 12:00 pm in RLL Common Room (300 High Street) at @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social and please share!

It's Double Starks next week at the Imagi-Ne'er-Do-Wells with scream queen Taylor Stark as guest judge and me and @itskellian.bsky.social hosting. Boston, come design with us! www.imagineerdowells.com/Boston/?fbcl...

One of the most fun aspects of collaborating with @jmstar.bsky.social is when our designs go in unanticipated, new directions. I did not see this one coming at all!

@lizziestark.bsky.social and I are putting the finishing touches on a new larp called Marchosias Rising and I think it is the best thing we've done together. You play the Danish royal court in 1770 as they conduct a Satanic black mass to preserve the monarchy. Tons of weird, true, historical detail.

It's a larp built around desperately trying to avoid being the most innocent person in the room when the clock strikes midnight. Because it's going to go Real Bad for the most innocent person. @lizziestark.bsky.social and I making a game for a friend. Also: Mars, Venus, Saturn, just imagine.

@lizziestark.bsky.social and my vaudeville audition game, Crabbing the Turn, is ready for playtesting. It's a 5-6 player, 2-3 hour larp. Probably a little funny, a little sad, a little intense. Just reading the sides will be a delight. If you have a group and are interested please send me a message!

LOVE this story! www.npr.org/2026/04/29/g...

The Austrian nuns who fled their care home are now in Rome and visited the Vatican

The three octogenarian nuns, who made headlines last year after they broke back into their convent, joined others at St. Peter's Square for a general audience with Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday morning.

Slow Walk by Six of Hounds

Cute animals sabotage a mousetrap factory. A serious party game.

@lizziestark.bsky.social and I wrote a game about grinding the gears of oppression in the most annoying, deniable ways, inspired by the 1944 Simple Sabotage Field manual of the OSS. It's cozy! You play cute forest animals who work in a trap factory for predators! sixofhounds.itch.io/slow-walk

Reminder—@jmstar and I made a short, wickedly comic larp about a crew of newscasters weathering censorship. sixofhounds.itch.io/the-broadcast

The Broadcast by Six of Hounds

Tell the truth and you'll doom yourself, but maybe save the nation. An absurd larp about journalists and dictators.

Six of Hounds (Me and @lizziestark.bsky.social) is looking for folks to playtest a small activism game called Slow Walk. It's for 2-9 participants/1-2 hours and requires in-person play. We need some external testing. Let us know if you are interested!

@lizziestark.bsky.social and I are working on a new game and I got to playtest it at Larp Shack so that's pretty good. I always want a first playtest to be like "this is perfect and you are geniuses" but that does not happen, so I'll take "you learned a lot and have much more work to do".
