Shawn Roske designs tabletop RPG material and larps about transformation, difficult conversations, contemplative play, social tension, and the strange machinery of human beings.
Through Playstories Canada, his work explores play as active learning: games that help people notice themselves, one another, and the systems they inhabit.
Some pieces here are complete larps. Some are tabletop supplements. Some are field notes and design experiments from the workshop.
