Hi all 👋
I'm Tanya (they/them). I've been gaming for 30yrs, making my own games and helping out with games clubs for most of that time. These days I'm based out of Edinburgh in Scotland. I'm @TimeOfTribes on twitter, though I'll be glad to see this or any other forum take over from that hellsite.
I've recently been involved in helping coordinate Edinburgh Indie Gamers, a games club exclusively focussed on small press and indie games with a strong focus on inclusivity. We have just wrapped on doing some fundraising via Kickstarter by producing a zine for #ZineQuest3. If anyone here is local then give me a shout and I can get you added to the club discord server.
Design-wise my games are informed by anarchist communist politics and queer liberation. I also tend to make games without any randomisers, either guided freeform or token economy stuff. I only add dice when I want things to feel capricious or unfair. The pandemic has led me towards releasing some of the games I've put together over the years, and so once a few other projects are wrapped up I'll be putting my own games up here.
