Death of the Author is now available!
A 1-2 player tarot TTRPG about a Character and their Author
Death of the Author is now available on itchio!
I’m excited to say that Death of the Author is now available for digital download! If you did not get the chance to back the crowdfunding campaign, there are also pre-orders available for the physical version, expected to ship in November.
Death of the Author is a 1-2 player tarot TTRPG about a character fighting for agency within their own story. Over the course of five chapters, the character attempts to shape the narrative by twisting the scenes written by their author.
With a deck of tarot cards, tell a story of character autonomy and authorial intent. What messages does the author send throughout the character’s story? What happens when the character finally confronts their author?
If you’ve enjoyed my other tarot game, Anamnesis, you might notice Death of the Author has a similar structure! This new game is a hack of Anamnesis, with twists on the original mechanics - I’ve been thinking of it as a spiritual successor to Anamnesis.
As with my other games, there are free community copies available for those who cannot afford a copy. There are also 20 physical community copies that have been generously donated by backers of the crowdfunding campaign.
Thank you, as always, for following my work! Be on the lookout for yet another new game releasing late-October / early-November…
