First full Story Games newsletter published yesterday! It’s titled An Astroneer Dharma, and it explores the connections between a nonfiction book on queer yoga practices and a cute video game set in space: natmesnard.substack.com/p/an-astroneer…

Tomorrow we are releasing our episode all about Psychic Trash Detectives- which if you don't know is an amazing game coming out from Scryptid Games! I had such a good time talking to Brigitte Winter about the dev process of this queer, fun, trash-filled game. Out tomorrow!

I'm elated to be hosting this reading with The Center for Fiction on June 3rd! It's free with RSVP: centerforfiction.org/event/the-cafe… We have a gorgeous line-up: Gyasi Hall , Edward Ongweso Jr , Nat Mesnard , and Jen Lue Thanks to @exhibitb312 and Unbound Edition Press for making this possible.

I had the absolute joy and privilege to play Scryptid Games/Nat Mesnard’s Ball of the Wild on Sarah’s Table with PixieDust&SafetyPins (she/her). It’s a warm hug of a game where you play animals performing in drag as other animals and I completely adored it! youtu.be/6dQS43hGqLM

Y'all, I am beyond excited to have Noah Grey Rosenzweig as my agent. A collaboration for the ages, and it's just beginning✨

I'm so excited about this IF class with Nat Mesnard that I am joining in (as a student). If you want to try out a whole new form of storytelling, with narrative shapes that break every rule, this is the class for you. Gamers & Non-Gamers welcome!
