I play tabletop games. (header by mjbarros)

New Year, New Pinned Post

Hi there! I'm Audrey, or LT. I'm a game designer, layout artist, editor, and podcaster.

If you want to look at my work, you can find it in my portfolio (and reach out if you want to collab or hire me!).

You can find my independently published games on my itch page.

Highlights:

  • Love Will Still Remain, a gm-less game about a group of people reuniting after years apart
  • Thaumaturge, P.I., a solo journaling mystery game about a teen detective at magic school
  • Lost Luggage, a solo journaling game about the titular lost piece of luggage
  • Behold, A Game!, a silly game where you play philosophers trying to convince the other players and the Oracle that your piece of writing is a game

Games I publish with my small press (namely, Spaceships and Starwyrms) are on our website.

My podcast is Alone at the Table, a solo games actual play and analysis show. I also hang out with the folks at the Moonshot Network on stream and sometimes other shows!

Lastly, my askbox is open - I write d10 random lists from time to time, and I'm always here if you have a question or want to chat!

I feel like it's really easy to discuss your fiction work online as like, a replacement for actually working on the fiction. You can post all day about who a character is, and how they might react to stuff. But you have to actually make the character good in the book first.

This is also true of designing TTRPGs. You can talk a lot about what you're working on, the ideas for mechanics and the kinds of stories they'll tell. But you have to actually write the goddamn rules to some degree to play it.

I'm transcribing an interview Aaron King did with me about Detente for the Ravenous and I had to stop and clip out their answer about what they think constitutes good writing. With the story breaking about NaNoWriMo supporting AI text generators, I was just reminded how fucking good it feels to hear someone talk like they give a shit about the craft.

Transcript below the readmore.
