Super excited to be part of Evergreen’s presence at Artswalk this year! These students, staff, and faculty have been such an integral part of my community here in Olympia. I’m proud of all of them and proud to be part of such a vibrant and innovative parts community.

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)

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!
I 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...

Missed the lecture on games and climate justice? There’s now a recording! Check out my lecture alongside Michael Joseph, @rosscowman.bsky.social, and Andy Gross! I talked about games, altered logic, and how we can understand these as tools for climate justice. #games
