If Absurdia hits its stretch goal, I'll be one of the guest writers!

If you like surreal horror and absurdist fiction, this isn't one to miss. I've been following this project for a couple years now!

Absurdia: The (Meta)Physical Edition An absurdist tabletop roleplaying game about the inane hilarity and mundane horror of everyday life, inspired by Welcome to Night Vale, Alice in Wonderland, and Gravity Falls.

We are officially halfway through the Absurdia crowdfunding campaign!!

Genuinely I've been blown away by the support so far. We funded in under 24 hours and just hit our first stretch goal to bring even more strange and surreal art to the book!

Are you ready to step through the looking glass? ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

A scattering of paper lays across a rug and the floor, as though thrown. The papers are pages from the game Spine, which we're previously folded as a printed booklet. The pages have been written and drawn on.
