    Art, Death, & RPGs (w/ Elizabeth Little)

    You can support this show on Patreon⁠⁠! Today, I’m talking to Elizabeth Little. She’s a UK-based science teacher, artist, and game designer. She co-founded Shrike Studio in 2015 and released games such as Blight Seas Fleet, a dark fantasy naval skirmish game, for which she developed a whole range of 3D printable miniatures. This year, she released a demo of You Will Die In This Place, an RPG described as "a nihilistic dungeoncrawler about art, death and identity". It’s weird, meta, layered, and also very asymmetrical like a boardgame. We talk about its design and themes (everything is a labyrinth! relationships, games, mental illness!) and its crowdfunding campaign via GameFound's RPG Party later this year.  Crowdfunding link: gamefound.com/en/projects/shrike-studio/you-will-die-in-this-place  Itch.io link: https://liz-shrikestudio.itch.io/  Show Notes: The Denial of Death by Ernst Becker Myth of Sisyphus Labyrinths by Jose Luis Borges Deimos by Dragan Bibin (painting) Toni R.

He's self-published supplements for Brindlewood Bay, Bump in the Dark, and the Paragon system. His newsletter, Hendrik Biweekly, is a regular source of excellent game design thoughts. Today we're here to talk about his first crowdfunded game, The Girls of the Genziana Hotel, a gothic mystery PbtA game set in an isolated alpine hotel. You play chambermaids in the hotel trying to discover what happened to one of their own.
