Goblin, game designer, performer of various things.
Currently working on a process for adapting esoterica, folklore, and similar sources into games.
Will probably forget I am on here for long periods of time.

I have a terrible idea stuck in my head.
I hope it doesn't stick and become one of those games I need to get out of my system.

This weekend I organised a D&D campaign as part of Banzaicon (which is a lovely event).
Nine games in eight time slots, ~3 hours per game.
The players built attractions for an "Adventuring Theme Park" named Dungeonfryd, the events of the game sessions filling out the various project clocks.

They've made me want to scream trying to get the typesetting right, and I'm bleeding from the paper cutter, but the cards look pretty good.

Impro, Keith Johnstone's influential book on improvisation for theatre, has four parts. Most of the improv I've done ignores the fourth part: Mask & Trance.
I've done a few of the exercises and found them really fruitful, so I'm doing some more reading and preparing a session for my birthday party.

Found the notebook at the bottom of a book stack on one of my dining room chairs. Kinda near where I thought it was.
The workshop was named Mining For Joy, and divided the qualities of a great player into Engaged, Active, Expressive, and Collaborative.
This is one of the pages of exercises.

However, I do need to do some preliminary testing to make sure the ideas work outside of my head, so I will be bringing a prototype to Dragonmeet.
It's a game about 13/14th century astrological amulets, and the methodology has drawn out some ideas I might not have come up with otherwise!
