Description:
Love Letter is a wonderful party card game great for getting a night of gaming started or simply to have something light to play with friends.

The game comes in many themes, such as The Hobbit and Archer, but this time we'll be using the Adventure Time deck. Mathmatical!
Who has a girl become? Play archetypes of the Fates influencing the life of a single girl, anchoring flashbacks around found objects. Begin at her funeral, end with her joining an archetype herself.
Description:
A LARP-ish game that can explore ideas about the influences of societal pressures, history, and one's community, especially at a young age. The game is intended to be played while walking through a museum, art gallery, park, or other visually-rich space where scenes can be held around a found object for inspiration. All players are members of a Chorus who direct scenes, enact NPCs, speak or act on behalf of the girl, and give commentary about the scene to the "audience". Run by co-designers Darcy Ross and John Harness, An Empty Page is still in playtesting but is a complete game, so your feedback will be immensely welcome! Note: Ideally, we will take a slow, leisurely wheelchair-accessible walk as part of the game, but we have alternative rules if that is an issue.
