The cover image of Anamnesis, which depicts an androgynous figure obscured by wisps of something, perhaps smoke.

The first page of the first act of Anamnesis, which contains a list of prompts. It says the following:
ACT 1: PENTACLES
You wake up in an unfamiliar place, seemingly within a town or city. You cannot remember who you are or why you are here. All you know for certain is that you are not in your home. Draw three cards from the Deck of Pentacles.
You take a moment to familiarize yourself with your
surroundings. Where are you?
You look down at the clothes on your body. What are
you wearing? How do you feel about the way you look?
You open your mouth and hear yourself speak. What is
your voice like?
When you look over your body, you notice a tattoo on
your skin. What is this tattoo? Where is it located?
You take a deep breath and smell something in the air.
What is this scent? Does it trigger any memories?
There is someone at your side. Who is this person?
What do they say to you?
There is a word on the tip of your tongue. Which word
is this?
Your hand closes around a memento in your pocket.
What is this memento? How does it make you feel?

Anamnesis is a single-player tarot TTRPG of self-discovery, reflection, and identity.

Players draw tarot cards to tell the story of someone experiencing memory loss, gradually uncovering their past and figuring out how to move forward. This game can also be used as a writing exercise or a character creation tool.

There are currently discounted, lightly-damaged copies available! These are $12, including shipping, and ship anywhere in the world. They come with the digital package, which includes the PDF, the audiobook, and the ENNIE-nominated designer's commentary version. You can check it out here.

Heroes you know

in a story you don't

Matt, Nat, Strat and Alex are improvising some fanfic in real time live on stage, using Interstitial, the fanfic and Kingdom Hearts-inspired roleplaying game by Riley Hopkins.

Dragonmeet wouldn't let us be Sans Undertale or Destiel (boooo), but we're still gonna make this thing as tumblrcore as we can make it with public domain characters. Expect happy post-canon JonMina and the Cask of Amontillado.

No separate ticket or booking needed, Dragonmeet convention tickets cover the show!

I forgot I got naked in this

Meet Jason's Agent Grayson Bacon

At Dragonmeet 2022, I was in The D20 Future Show's live game of Jason Statham's Big Vacation, playing Jason's agent!

The audio from that game is now up, just in time for the Merely Roleplayers live show at Dragonmeet 2023.

Enjoy snorkelling, crab petting, Jedi training and several attempts to marry Jason Statham, all on the picturesque Isle of Fernando. 🏖
