The Manifesto

I'm about low barriers to entry, where it takes less than 30 minutes to learn the rules.

I'm about story gaming x OSR.

I'm about emotions, performance, telling a story, the players as characters and audience.

I'm about deconstruction, finding the limits of the hobby and pushing on them. I'm about experimentation, breaking the norms of my own manifesto.

I'm about deeply-considered worldbuilding.

I'm about embracing that feeling of strangeness that you encounter when you travel, when your assumptions about how things are are turned upside down.

I'm about undertold stories of underrepresented people, writing in the nooks and crannies between the genre/culture heavyweights.

I'm about anthropology, history, political science, linguistics, comparative psychology, decolonial studies, and maybe a dash of heterodox economics.

I'm about breaking the rules of physics, vernacular architecture, tropical fruit, magical realism, pulling on one thread and seeing how the whole picture changes, honor, horror, relationships, power.

I'm about all those SJW things.
