FAQs

How do I check out?

All purchases go through my itch.io storefront.

Do you have any games about being disabled?

Yes! Dream Quilt is a solo game about being sick, and Psychonaut is a class for Songbirds 3e based on my experience with chronic migraines.

I also have a collection of games by other designers that explore chronic illness, disability, & neurodivergence.

What payments do you accept?

You can pay through PayPal (PayPal balance, card, or bank) or Stripe (debit or credit card.)

Do I need to be an experienced role-player to play your games?

Not at all! Most of my games are solo games, meaning you can play them on your own. You can indulge in exactly the amount of roleplaying you’d like.
