Bluebeard’s bride but it’s just my cats fighting to get into The Forbidden Room (the bathroom) at every opportunity, only to encounter unseen horrors (water)
New post up where I start my thoughts on which game designers get to be named: www.patreon.com/sarahdoom/po...

So I'm curious after reading Sen-Foong Lim's interview about the importance of naming designers. You can read it here: https://www.ttrpginsi

And it’s off to print! Chthonic Press’ first ever publication is now at the printer! The past couple months have definitely been a learning process (looking at you indesign) but I’m so excited to soon be able to share the poetry chapbook, “ten fathers,” slated for publication on Oct 2nd!
Gamer friends! Hello! Does anyone happen to have any recs for TTRPGs that are comedic in the sense of Greek comedy? Like satirical, overblown character archetypes, casting a mirror on society? Ideally GMless, though that’s not a requirement!
As I’m getting the patreon up and running, I would love to hear from YOU! What would you want to see as a patreon backer of an experimental literature and games press? (And yes, the tiers are named after the layers of soil because I couldn’t resist the pun)
This is a book about death. This is not a book about death.

CHOMP! is a short solo journaling game in which you play a zombie returning to your childhood home. Inspired by games like Thousand Year Old Vampire, sort through the destruction, find artifacts of your past life…
Been hard at work getting everything set up behind the scenes, just wanted to share a sneak peek of chthonic press’ estimated publication schedule…
My name is Sarah “Sam” Saltiel and I’m an artist, writer, and game designer. I had insomnia and started a business! In truth this is something I’ve been thinking about for over a year—creating an infrastructure for publishing experimental games and literature.
Would highly recommend that everyone immediately check out The Maiden and The Rake, @scorchadoom.bsky.social’s new game!!! It is strange, beautiful, and intimate!
Sarah Doom@scorchadoom.bsky.social · 8mo agoI have a new small game out! Play either the Stag-headed Maiden or the Wolf-hearted Rake and see if you find love. Buy it here: www.patreon.com/posts/150121... #ttrpg

Some body horror for the new year! So excited about my nonfiction choose your own adventure piece, winner of the Ned Stuckey-French nonfiction prize and recently published by @southeastreview.bsky.social! This piece is an excerpt of a full-length choose your own adventure book in progress.
The first time I ran my game Passing with strangers, I brought it to a convention. A group of older white men (who knew each other) sat down and within 20 minutes used the 1950’s setting as an opportunity to make racist jokes. I X-carded them multiple times and ended up cutting the game short
Dr. Emily Friedman@ecfriedman.com · 12mo agoI’ve asked this privately for a while, but here we go: in the following comments I’m going to ask for folks to “like” (and ideally provide anonymized comments) of the use of the “X-Card” or other legible safety tools. This is very unrigorous initial sense of the lay of the land.
