Dr. Friedman is a professor of storytelling outside the rules of mass media, including never-published manuscripts from during the age of print (1750-1900), and more recently, the history and world of TTRPG Actual Play. Her next book, The Actual History of Actual Play, is being published by MIT.

I couldn't name a better guest to sit down with as we celebrate 11 great years of Party of One with a game of The Creation of Wonder by Eve Golden-Woods. We sat down for a wonderful discussion about stewardship, archiving, preservation, and a story about the compiling of the world's foremost collection of animated GIFs.

Caleb is one of my favorite designers AND podcasters (you have to check out Nightcrawler is My Boyfriend, it is a joy), and so I was thrilled when he reached out about the new game he's releasing, The House Edge. It is a mashup of Triangle Agency and FIST (two of my favorite RPGs), in which a squad of paranormal mercenary thieves team up to take down an otherworldly casino owner who wronged them... and end up infiltrating a twisted time loop facility as a result. It is EXTREMELY MY JAM.

Special thanks to satah, Tom Harrison, Dillin Apelyan, and Viditya Voleti for being guest voices on the episode!

Sasha is the creator of Spindlewheel, an interpretive tarot-like storytelling game where you weave together a story from card to card (and one of my favorite games of the past decade!). To wrap up our impromptu Spindlewheel trilogy on the show, we sat down with the special Spindlenoir deck to tell the story of a big-city dreamer cursed with deadly ambition in Adorned With Curses by Avalyn Ramsay.
